VUS.13a.3

This resource continues to explore the ramifications of the "massive resistance" era. It introduces students to the personalities and issues of the period through the use of newspaper images. The immediacy of these black and white photographs is striking, allowing students to see, for example, photographs of the African American students who initiated the Prince Edward County lawsuit, or to compare the "private academies" and "home schools" of the state's white students with the tar paper shacks and over-crowded classrooms provided for the state's black students.
