About this title

Storyline

Over fifty years ago there was a concerted effort by the elected leaders of many southern states to oppose racial desegregation of public schools. Following a mandate by the U.S. Supreme Court to desegregate, Virginia's government instead chose to lead a movement called Massive Resistance that affected the lives of school children across most of the South and left a permanent scar.
