Massive
Resistance became Virginia's policy to prevent school desegregation in the
wake of the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision in 1954.
Many of Virginia's white leaders resisted integration with all of their
considerable political and legal means. The story of massive resistance
and of black Virginians' protests against segregation began in the early
1950s and continues today. The film traces the history of massive resistance
in Virginia and considers some of its legacies. VCDH | The Ground Beneath our Feet | Comments | Credits
