Brown's Battleground: Students, Segregationists, and the Struggle for Justice 
in Prince Edward County, Virginia 
Wednesday, February 15, 2012 
Time: Noon–1:00 PM 
Place: Conference Rooms,  Free 

In 1954 after the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of 
Education was announced, Prince Edward County shut down its school system 
rather than comply with the Supreme Court's ruling. Hear author Jill Titus tell 
the story of the the seismic changes brought by the Court's decision and 
Virginia's move to resist desegregation. She illustrates the ways that ordinary 
people, black and white, battled, and continue to battle, over the role of 
public education in the United States. A book signing follows the talk.
