The Long Road from Brown: School Desegregation in Virginia

One week-long residential workshops for educators examining school desegregation in Virginia.

We invite school teachers (Grades 6-12) to participate in one-week workshops on school desegregation in Virginia following the historic Brown v. Board of Education decision. Teachers will interact with leading scholars in the field, visit historic sites and archives, and discuss curricular and teaching approaches related to this subject.
