Kristen Green visits The Context of White Supremacy. A journalist by trade, Ms. Green is a Virginia native who adapted her life to research the infamous five year school closure in Prince Edward County. Following the 1954 Brown v Board of Education decision, Racists in Southside Virginia dedicated themselves to White Supremacy in education. They colluded, secured funding, and eventually closed all public schools in the county from 1959 to 1964. They opened private academies for White children during this time, while leaving black children and educators to rot without education. Ms. Green's publication - Something Must Be Done About Prince Edward County - explores the details of this historic act of war and her family's involvement in the closing of the schools. Her White grandfather defended keeping black students away from white kids and served as a faculty member for the White Supremacy academy for years. Her memoir suggests that mosts Whites in the area are not greatly and sincerely pained about their actions - even a half century later. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

In the wake of the Supreme Courtâ??s unanimous decision in the case of Brown v. Board of Education, Virginiaâ??s Prince Edward County refused to obey the law. Rather than desegregate, the county closed its public schools, locking and chaining the doors. The communityâ??s white leaders quickly established a private academy, commandeering supplies from the shuttered public schools to use for their all-white classrooms, while black parents scrambled to find alternative education for their children. For five years, the schools remained closed in Prince Edward County. Author and journalist Kristen Green grew up in Farmville and attended Prince Edward Academy, which didnâ??t open its doors to black students until 1986. Thirty four years after the Supreme Court ended school segregation, Green first began to learn the truth about her hometownâ??s shameful history. As a wife and mother in her own multiracial family, the revelations of the haunting period in our nationâ??s past become more complex and painful as she discovers the role her own grandparents played. Combining hard-hitting investigative journalism and a sweeping family narrative, Something Must Be Done About Prince Edward County by Kristen Green is a provocative true story that reveals a little-known chapter of American history.
