Something Must Be Done About Prince Edward County
By Kristen Green
336 pages;
Harper
One of the last bastions of segregation after Brown v. Board of Education, the small
Virginia county of Prince Edward closed its schools rather than allow them to
be integrated. Journalist Green recounts the shameful chapter in her hometown's
history, taking an especially close look at her grandfather’s role in
shuttering the district.
