Desegregation: Stories of Integration of Henrico Public Schools

The Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and '60s brought seismic change to American society. Perhaps the greatest impact was felt in education. The U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 decision in Brown vs. the Board of Education ordered that racial segregation in schools gave unequal treatment to blacks and whites, and was unconstitutional. The decision meant school systems would have to integrate. In Henrico County, the process of school desegregation occurred gradually from 1963 to 1969.

This statement has nothing to do with your race, but if life has taught me anything it’s that all men are not created equal.
