We Are Your Children Too: Black Students, White Supremacists, and the Battle for America’s Schools in Prince Edward County, Virginia
P. O’Connell Pearson
This account follows African American students in a segregated Virginia school district who went on strike in 1951 to seek equal facilities. After Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, the county’s all-White school board chose to close public schools rather than integrate them. The students’ campaign was followed by years of legal battles as the county continued to refuse integration. The book includes interviews, archival photographs, and back matter.
