Powerpoint used in Louisa County Classrooms to present the Civil Rights Struggle
Description
The PDF file to the right is based upon a powerpoint presentation funded by Dominion Virginia Power. The presentation uses photos, many from the Louisa County Historical Society archives, to tell the story of Civil Rights from the end of the Civil War through 1970.
Materials focus on the experiences of school children in Louisa County and Central Virginia during segregation. Included are comparisons between white and black teacher salaries and other figures taken from County School District records.
