Conclusion of the September Showdown Series
|
|
WDBJ's John Meredith Patterson concluded the September Showdown series. Cities covered
in the series were Arlington, Charlottesville, Newport News, and Norfolk. Patterson said
WDBJ did not include Prince Edward County in the Showdown series because its county
schools were not under a federal court order to desegregate in the fall. Federal
District Judge Sterling Hutcheson delayed setting a desegregation date in Prince Edward
County until a race relations survey was conducted by proper authorities.
