The Road to Integration

Phyllistine Moseley is the Chairwoman of the Lynchburg Juneteenth Coalition and board member of the Legacy Museum of African American History. But before she became a wellspring of historical knowledge, she was a child in Farmville. In fact, she grew up during the now infamous school closures of the 60s, when Prince Edward County decided that they would rather shut down public education than integrate their schools. At Old City Cemetery on February 11th, Ms. Moseley will share her experiences from that era, and offer insight into the state of American society during those trying times.
