"It was a crisp autumn day when I stepped off the porch of my parents' slate-blue house in Farmville and walked a block to the home of a man I had known most of my life, a man who founded the white private school I had attended."
This book is an interesting combo of memoir and history. It's rare that a reporter covering an issue has such a personal tie to it. The story of this Virginia county that closed its public schools instead of desegregate after Brown v. Board of Education is riveting and shocking.
