Kristen Green: Something Must Be Done About Prince Edward County. Winchester Book Gallery. 185 North Loudoun Street. Winchester. 11am–1pm. Combining hard-hitting investigative journalism and a sweeping family narrative, this provocative true story reveals a little-known chapter of American history: the period after the Brown v. Board of Education decision when one Virginia school system—Prince Edward County—refused to integrate. Rather than desegregate, the county closed its public schools, locking and chaining the doors, and remaining closed for five years. Kristen Green grew up in Farmville and attended Prince Edward Academy, which didn’t open its doors to black students until 1986. Thirty four years after the Supreme Court ended school segregation, Green first began to learn the truth about her hometown’s shameful history. Meet the author.
