Scope and Contents

The collection consists of copies of regional and national newspaper clippings covering the "Massive Resistance" movement and public reaction to the desegregation and subsequent closing of some of Norfolk's public schools. Also discussed are state and local politicians such as Governor Lindsay Almond, Jr., who ordered the closing the Norfolk schools that enrolled African American students, and Mayor William Fred Duckworth, who opposed the desegregation of the public schools. Some of the clippings discuss the fate of those students whose graduation was put in jeopardy by the school closing, known as "The Lost Class of '59."
