[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And for the pp who said that most of the civil rights action was further South, you are clearly not familiar with the long and turbulent battle for integration in Virginia schools. It was ugly. And ever hear of Loving v. Virginia? [/quote] There were Virginia counties that effectively shut down there entire public school system rather than comply with the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision. My DD's Middle School - Luther Jackson - was once the ONLY high school for black students in all of Fairfax County. [/quote] I suggest PPs that want to learn more about Virginia history take a ride down to Farmville -- there is a great museum http://www.motonmuseum.org/ covering the actions of Prince Edward County, Virginia, and how they fed in to the landmark Brown vs. the Board of Education case.[/quote]
