Emancipation and the end of the Civil War brought promises of equality for African Americans in Virginia and throughout the South. It took the better part of a century for those promises to begin to be realized. This program will identify and examine the effects of segregation and “Jim Crow” on life in Virginia for whites, African Americans, and American Indians. Students will also discuss the social and political events in Virginia linked to desegregation and Massive Resistance and their relationship to national history.

This program is part of the celebration of Digital Learning Day and will take place during the #DiscoverDL festival February 16-19, 2016. This event is proudly supported by the Pinnacle Education Collaborative. Find more events by searching #DiscoverDL on the CILC website!
