Veterans for Peace and the TRUE story of the County that would rather shut schools down than comply with the law of the land to integrate.

On this show Canain Townsend Associate Director & Director of Education & Outreach at the Moton Museum in Farmville Va. And Bob Hamlin, former board member, Docent, retired Master Sergeant, and a witness to history, tell this remarkable story of how the African American people of Prince Edward County Virginia endured the relentless efforts of a white supremacist school board in Prince Edward County, Virginia. This community and these students became part of the lawsuit that resulted in the Brown Vs Board of Education which ended separate but equal. However, they still had to face the reality that their county was not willing to follow the law. They had to scramble to find alternatives when Prince Edward County Virginia shut down all public schools rather than comply with integration. This is the story of how that community responded, survived, and eventually created a museum that re-tells the story and honors the people who would not give in to the white supremacists of the county and would not give up their right to an education.
