Byrd

-Harry flood byrd was the most important person - 2/24/1954 was the most important date along with the year 1954 and January 1960 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.197.217 (talk) 22:32, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Richmond times dispatch?

Why is that paragraph in the summary of the article? It is not significant enough compared to the entire issue to warrant such a placement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.149.227.173 (talk) 00:23, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Conservative"

I'm not sure it is proper to lable all of these people "Conservative" in the sense that they were aligned with the center-Right of U.S. politics. Some segregationists, Al Gore Sr. for example, were relatively "liberal" on New Deal era economic issues. In any event, conservative should be lower case, not upper for grammatical purposes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.72.215.225 (talk) 18:23, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of this article Massive resistance has nothing to do with New Deal economic issues.Skywriter (talk) 18:32, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Al Gore Sr. was not a segregationist. Note that he was a NON-SIGNATORY - meaning he would not sign the Manifesto. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.218.220.56 (talk) 14:53, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

While this article tries to be comprehensive, it is relatively incomplete and is very lacking in inline citations. I'd say Start-class, but the comprehensiveness enables it to reach C-class (just barely). It needs serious copyediting, citation, and a greater comprehensiveness. - Tim1965 (talk) 14:38, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It still needs massive work. There's a fairly recent biography of the late Justice Lewis Powell that covers some issues relating to Richmond's integration. He was a member of Richmond's school board and his law firm represented Prince Edward County; while the bio calls him a moderate, he did nothing that would interfere with his law firm's advocacy of Prince Edward County's massive resistance policy. Also this page should link to the NAACP v. Button case, since part of massive resistance included trying to stop NAACP attorneys by calling their efforts to maintain class action lawsuits unethical. Also, Arlington County tried to oppose Governor Almond's closure order, which also applied to its schools (whose school board favored integration). However, right now I'm far away from its Virginia history room, so I don't have the citations to include.Jweaver28 (talk) 01:45, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just spent a few hours in Arlington Public Library's Local History Room (I can't remember the new name) and added material concerning my county. However, my time available for this is extremely limited. I'm both frustrated and embarrassed that the published sources I could find can't even get the names of the legal cases right. And I don't even have the time to track down the journal article I cited, which was published but firewalled so I used the manuscript available in the collection instead. Thus, I hope someone else can wade into these murky and tempestuous waters.Jweaver28 (talk) 22:14, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Walsingham as segregation academy

I'd like to see some support for that contention. Walsingham Academy was founded in 1947 by nuns from Philadelphia, and Brown v. Board wasn't decided until 1954. Seems unlikely that the impetus for the school's founding was preserving white-only education. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trojanrunna (talk • contribs) 03:01, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
