The Prince Edward County school busses were running on September 10-th, 1963-- for the first time in four years.
In 1959, the state gave up on massive resistance, fearing federal troops would be sent to Virginia to enforce school integration.
Instead, they put the integration decision in the hands of county supervisors.
In Prince Edward County, supervisors closed the schools rather than integrate.
Most white children attended private academies, while most blacks received no formal schooling at all.
In 1963, the federal government funded a free, integrated school.
