This exhibition in the Robert Russa Moton Museum features individuals who lived through the public school closing in Prince Edward County, Virginia, from 1959-1964.  In collaboration with the museum, Longwood University students in an honors advanced writing seminar and a photography course partnered with these individuals to document their stories.  These stories resonate with action and with movement – in stark contrast to how the history of this period has traditionally been told.  We hope this exhibition encourages other individuals to share their stories.  Through telling and listening, all of us can engage in dialogue about our past, our present, and our future together.

 

Please visit the Robert Russa Moton Museum between 3:30 and 5:30pm on Tuesday, April 24 to learn more about this exhibition.
