The Struggle for Civil Rights in Staunton and Augusta County
| Creator | Josie Dull, Augusta Historical Bulletin |
| Description | This article from Augusta Historical Bulletin, which was submitted as senior thesis for the Adult Degree Program at Mary Baldwin College by Josie Dull explains how desegregation in Staunton, Virginia went more smoothly than other areas of the state and country, in that the black and white citizens of Staunton accepted the “inevitability of integration.” The main reason for the smooth transition, was the constant persistence of town citizens (both black and white),community leaders, church leaders and the Staunton branch NAACP of pointing out inequalities of the black and white schools to the Staunton School Board, as well as the pressure to appoint an African-American member to the school board. |
