51: Civil Wrongs

Separate but Equal, Realities in Farmville Virginia

A teacher from Farmville, Virginia, shares his experience during the era of Brown v. Board of Education. He explains that many Black people did not desire to mingle with whites but simply wanted equal resources. He recounts how Black schools were given discarded, torn-up chemistry books from white schools and describes how some Black principals were too intimidated by the white establishment to ask for the supplies their students desperately needed.
