DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an online discussion of a little-known chap
 ter of American history when a Virginia school system refused to integrate
  after the Brown v. Board of Education decision. .\nhttps://alexandria.lib
 net.info/event/12902649
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In the wake of the Supreme Court&rsquo\;s 
 unanimous Brown v. Board of Education decision\, Virginia&rsquo\;s Prince 
 Edward County refused to obey the law. Rather than desegregate\, the count
 y closed its public schools\, locking and chaining the doors. The communit
 y&rsquo\;s white leaders quickly established a private academy\, commandee
 ring supplies from the shuttered public schools to use in their all-white 
 classrooms. Meanwhile\, black parents had few options: keep their kids at 
 home\, move across county lines\, or send them to live with relatives in o
 ther states. For five years\, the schools remained closed.</p>\n<p>Kristen
  Green\, a longtime newspaper reporter\, grew up in Farmville and attended
  Prince Edward Academy\, which did not admit black students until 1986. In
  her journey to uncover what happened in her hometown before she was born\
 , Green tells the stories of families divided by the school closures and o
 f 1\,700 black children denied an education. As she peels back the layers 
 of this haunting period in our nation&rsquo\;s past\, her own family&rsquo
 \;s role&mdash\;no less complex and painful&mdash\;comes to light.</p>\n<p
 >At once gripping\, enlightening\, and deeply moving\,&nbsp\;Something Mus
 t Be Done About Prince Edward County&nbsp\;is a dramatic chronicle that ex
 plores our troubled racial past and its reverberations today\, and a timel
 ess story about compassion\, forgiveness\, and the meaning of home. (Goodr

 onth from 3:30 PM to 5 PM.&nbsp\; It is a monthly book discussion group th
