Prince Edward County Free School 1963-67

Prince Edward County Free School 1963-67

Creator	Prince Edward County Free School
Description	Between the years 1959 and 1963, there were no public schools in Prince Edward County, Virginia. After five long years the County and State allowed Prince Edward’s schools to reopen. Because the black children in the county had no school during this period of time (the white students attended an all white academy) it was thought best to organize a free school which would pave the way for hundreds of young children to return to school after a five year absence. The Prince Edward County, Virginia (free school) papers are the records of that effort. The papers contain correspondence, reports, photographs and other items, which document this sad period in Virginia History.

Stan Shaw Collection

Stan Shaw Collection

Creator	Stan Shaw
Description	Stan Shaw was Chairman of the Student Help Project at Queens College from January 1963 through January 1964. The Student Help Project organized Queens College students to provide free tutoring services to schoolchildren in South Jamaica, Queens (circa 1962-1968) and in Prince Edward County, Virginia (summer of 1963). In South Jamaica the volunteers assisted children who were below grade level. In Prince Edward County they tutored African American children who had been denied formal schooling since 1959, when the County shut down their public schools rather than enforce court ordered desegregation. Queens College Education professors Dr. Rachel Weddington and Dr. Sidney Simon coordinated these initiatives with Shaw and other students. As a result of this collaboration, by the fall of 1963 over 220 students had participated in the South Jamaica project and 16 students had spent 6 weeks tutoring in Prince Edward County. The collection contains newspaper and magazine articles, reports, photographs, press releases, and a diary documenting the Student Help Project in New York and Virginia.
