Sonia Yaco, special collections librarian at Old Dominion University, talked about items in their collection related to school desegregation, including court records, letters from parents, and a letter from a former governor of Virginia which states that any school deciding to integrate will be shut down. From 1959-1964 all schools were closed in this area of Virginia. White children went to private schools and black children were not allowed in any school.
