AFSC Work in the Prince Edward County Virginia School Closing Issue
| Creator | American Friends Service Committee |
| Description | The material provides details about the Emergency Student Placement Program as well as some locally organized activities in Farmville, Virginia. Many of the documents represent observations about events and conditions associated with the Prince Edward County school closing issue. These may be of particular interest to historians, journalists, documentary producers, educators, legal authorities, among others, especially as they bear on the origin and history of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1954 school desegregation decision and subsequent civil rights developments. |
