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: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.
