Book synopsis

This book provides a historical analysis of the §desegregation of George Washington§High School and Langston High School in Danville, §Virginia in 1970. The author focuses§on the related desegregation litigation on a §national, state, and local level as well as the§historical context for desegregation in the §Commonwealth of Virginia. Using newspaper accounts, §correspondence from key figures, and interviews with §key people from Danville in 1970, the author §addresses four areas: (a) What led to§the desegregation of schools in Danville, Virginia? §(b) Who were the key players in the§desegregation movement? (c) How were the community, §the students, and the staff§prepared for desegregation? and (d) What were the §attitudes and the concerns about§desegregation? The data was collected and analyzed §using qualitative methodology. The§constant-comparative method espoused by Maykut and §Morehouse was used to analyze the data and §Bronfenbrenner s concept of the nested environment §was the theoretical model used to organize the data.
