SUMMARY:When the Schools Shut Down - Book Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Author Yolanda Gladden Children’s Book Discussion  \nSaturday February 19th at 12:00pm \nFree and open to the public \nAn awe-inspiring autobiographical picture book about a young African American girl who lived during the shutdown of public schools in Farmville\, Virginia\, following the landmark civil rights case Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka. \nMost people think that the Brown vs. Board of Education decision of 1954 meant that schools were integrated with deliberate speed. But the children of Prince Edward County located in Farmville\, Virginia\, who were prohibited from attending formal schools for five years knew differently\, including Yolanda. \nTold by Yolanda Gladden herself\, cowritten by Dr. Tamara Pizzoli and with illustrations by Keisha Morris\, When the Schools Shut Down is a true account of the unconstitutional effort by white lawmakers of this small Virginia town to circumvent racial justice by denying an entire generation of children an education. \nMost importantly\, it is a story of how one community triumphed together\, despite the shutdown.

SUMMARY:The Life & Legacy of Phillip Ward
DESCRIPTION:The Farmville-Prince Edward Historical Society invites everyone to join them for their February meeting at The Robert Russa Moton Museum. \n2/15/22 at 7:00pm \nThe Life & Legacy of Phillip Ward presented by Dr. Letoshia Foster\, Longwood University – Professor of History \nJoin us as we discuss the life and legacy of Phillip Ward. Mr. Ward was born into slavery in Amelia County\, on the plantation of Charles Farmer. In an account later shared with WPA interviewers in the 1930s\, Philip Ward described an encounter with Union Army soldiers in the last days of the Civil War. His family lived\, he recounted\, “in a log cabin at the foot of a hill\, out in a field nearby some thick woods.” Through those woods\, one day\, appeared a long column of Yankee soldiers. “Then this big general\,” he recalled\, “all dirty\, with a thick beard covering most of his face\, come up to the plantation house and tell our master and missus that he was going to stay there.” That general\, he later found out\, was none other than Ulysses S. Grant. Farmville in 1884\, Philip Ward was hired as a cook. He quickly worked his way up to the position of head chef and by 1898\, his son Charles joined him in the kitchen. In 1934 Mr. Ward was honored during the 50th Anniversary of the school and was presented with an honorary degree during a special ceremony. Although he retired in 1940\, the legacy of Philip Ward continued at Longwood through his son Charles\, cook and head baker at the school for over 50 years. As well\, his grandson Phillip\, who worked in the school kitchens from 1945 until his death in 1971\, was known for his massive cakes made to celebrate special occasions.

SUMMARY:Moton Author Series: An Evening with Dr. Alfred L. Cobbs
DESCRIPTION:Join the Moton Museum for our first virtual Author Event of the year featuring Dr. Alfred L. Cobbs\, author of the new memoir Locked Out: Finding freedom and education after Prince Edward County closed its schools. \n\n\nFrom 1959-1964\, Prince Edward County\, Virginia chose to close its public schools rather than desegregate them following the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision. Alfred L. Cobbs\, a tenth grader at the time\, was one of the casualties among the African American students of the “lock out” generation. In Locked Out\, Cobbs chronicles his struggle for an education in the face of this traumatic experience. \n\nWith the support of a family who lived outside the county and took him in\, Cobbs was able to finish high school. In college\, he found refuge in the study and immersion in the German language and culture\, which aided him in finding his way existentially\, and ultimately led him to a rewarding career as a professor. Locked Out is a testimony of human perseverance and triumph against the odds.

SUMMARY:Moton Mondays: Elvatrice Parker Belsches
DESCRIPTION:This event was rescheduled from February 15 to February 22 at 12 noon due to weather. We will be joined by Elvatrice Parker Belsches\, a public historian\, researcher and filmmaker who specializes in chronicling the Black experience in history.  She is the author of the pictorial publication\, Black America Series: Richmond\, Virginia (Arcadia Publishing) and she has several documentaries in development. \nBelsches will take the audience on a journey into civil rights in education through the memories of her late parents who were gifted educators.  Belsches’ father\, the late Ernest Parker Sr. taught mathematics at Robert R. Moton High School from 1951-1955\, where he also served as an assistant football coach and athletic director. While serving as Barbara Johns’ homeroom and algebra teacher\, he discovered the students making placards in the back of the class in preparation for the student walkout in 1951.  The walkout launched a series of events that laid the groundwork for the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling deeming segregation unconstitutional\, and prompted Prince Edward County schools to close rather than integrate for five years.  The students’ signs\, with messages like “We want a new school” are printed indelibly in the nation’s collective memory of the civil rights movement\, and are treasured pieces of her family’s legacy.

SUMMARY:Barbara Rose Johns: The Story Behind the Statue
DESCRIPTION:An event sponsored by the Salem History Museum \nA statue of Barbara Johns will soon be installed in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda\, joining George Washington to represent Virginia. Cameron Patterson\, the Executive Director of the Robert Russa Moton Museum\, will share her story and the role she played in bringing an end to segregated schools. The Zoom link will be on the Salem Museum’s website on the day of the talk. https://salemmuseum.org/ \n\n\nBefore Selma\, before Montgomery\, young people made history in Farmville\, Virginia. On April 23\, 1951\, Barbara Johns—a Black\, 16 year-old high school girl—led her classmates in a strike to protest substandard conditions at their school\, Robert Russa Moton High School in Prince Edward County. Two NAACP lawyers\, Spottswood Robinson and Oliver Hill\, took up the cause for more equitable conditions. Robinson and Hill filed suit—Davis v. Prince Edward—at the federal courthouse in Richmond. In 1954\, the Farmville case became one of five that the U.S. Supreme Court reviewed in Brown v Board of Education of Topeka\, when it declared segregation unconstitutional. \n\nThe Robert Russa Moton Museum is a National Historic Landmark preserving and interpreting the history of Civil Rights in Education. Before joining the Moton in 2017\, Patterson worked at Longwood University. He has served as a member of the Virginia African American Advisory Board and the State Board of Directors for the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities\, and as Vice Chairman for the Farmville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Farmville Planning Commission. A Lynchburg native\, he holds a Bachelor of Science degree in History\, and a Master’s in Counselor Education from Longwood University.
