USDC, Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division, Civil Action Case #4264- Velda Brown, et al vs. the County School Board of Gloucester County, Virginia, et al
| Creator | USDC, Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division |
| Description | In March 1965, a class action suit was filed on behalf of all black students in Gloucester County for the County’s segregated educational system. By July of that same year, the School Board had submitted to the Court a concrete plan for school desegregation, which had already been passed by their body. It was agreed upon in a 1968 supplemental plan that all 7th-9th grade students would attend a single school regardless of race or residence, 10th-12th graders attend a second school regardless of race or residence, and 1st-6th graders, regardless of race, but depending on the designated zone that they reside in, placed in particular schools; these zones had previously been agreed upon based off of a Virginia Department of Highways map dated January 1, 1965 (marked exhibit A). |
