Peter Humphries Clark (March 29, 1829 – June 21, 1925) was an American abolitionist and speaker. One of Ohio's most effective black abolitionist writers and speakers, he became the first teacher engaged by the Cincinnati black public schools in 1849, and the founder and principal of Ohio's first public high school for black students in 1866.
Because of these accomplishments, he was named the nation's primary black public school educator.
