Everyone,

On January 25, 2017, Brian Daugherity, Assistant Professor of History, will talk about his new book, Keep On Keeping On: The NAACP and the Implementation of Brown v. Board of Education in Virginia (University of Virginia Press, 2016).

Virginia was a battleground state in the struggle to implement the Supreme Court’s historic Brown v. Board of Education decision. Keep On Keeping On is the first book to offer a comprehensive view of how African Americans and the NAACP in Virginia secured new educational opportunities for the state’s black population despite fierce opposition and a program of noncompliance crafted by the state’s political leaders. This book sheds new light on the civil rights movement and resistance to civil rights in Virginia and the South.
