Cyber Hunt - Massive Resistance in Virginia

This Lesson Plan was created as part of the Afro/Native curriculum I am creating. This curriculum is designed to bridge the gap, and enlighten students and teacher about the importance of true diversity in the classroom.  

Often times students are not interested in school because they don't see the personal connection to what they are studying. There are times African American, and Native American students only come in contact with their heritage in the classroom,  when there is a holiday. Diversity in the curriculum should be a daily classroom event. This is why I am creating Afro Centric/Native Centric curriculum. 

This particular Lesson in based on the events that occurred in the state of Virginia during the time of Public School Massive Resistance. During this time the Virginia State Government was forced to integrate all Public Schools. The Prince Edward County Schools were forced to close there doors due Massive Resistance. In 1954, the political organization of U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd, Sr., controlled Virginia politics. Senator Byrd promoted the "Southern Manifesto" opposing integrated schools, which was signed in 1956 by more than one hundred southern officeholders. On February 25, 1956, he called for what became known as Massive Resistance.

This was a group of laws, passed in 1958, intended to prevent integration of the schools. Pupil Placement Boards were created with the power to assign specific students to particular schools. Tuition grants were to be provided to students who opposed integrated schools. The linchpin of Massive Resistance was a law that cut off state funds and closed any public school that agreed to integrate.
