Description<\/strong><\/td>\nThe collection consists of films used by WTAR, a television station in Norfolk Virginia. The entire collection is 4,600 reels of predominately acetate 16mm black and white film dated 1940s – 1980s. About 20 of the films relate to civil rights and school desegregation. These reels include a 1955 portrait of the Supreme Court for a story on Brown v. Board of Education; civil rights protests in North Carolina; and the Special Session of the Virginia Legislature in 1956 when \u201cMassive Resistance\u201d laws were passed to circumvent the Brown decision. Norfolk became a national beacon for resisting integration so films on local school desegregation have broad implications. In addition the collection contains films related to international relations, the military, oceanography and science. A small number of films have been digitized.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
