The C.O.W.S. w/ Kristen Green: White Supremacy in Prince Edward County

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
