More about the book

The narrative explores the significant historical event following the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, focusing on Prince Edward County, Virginia. Rather than comply with the mandate to integrate schools, the county chose to eliminate its public school system entirely. This decision highlights the extreme measures some communities took in response to desegregation, revealing the complexities and resistance surrounding civil rights and educational equality during this pivotal period in American history.
