In 1951 a group of African American students at Robert R. Moton High School in Prince Edward County, Virginia, organized a strike to protest the substandard school facilities provided for black students. The walkout, led by 16 year old Barbara Johns, is one of the great stories in the struggle for Civil Rights—a story of courage and persistence against what seemed at the time like overwhelming odds. Larissa Smith Fergeson (Longwood University) provides the historical context to the walkout; Lacy Ward Jr. (Moton Museum) interviews two students who participated in the strike and Mildred Robinson (University of Virginia) describes the effects on students and families when the Virginia government closed the schools rather than succumb to the federal mandate to integrate them.

Civil Rights icon James Farmer's skilled oratory was shaped in part as a member of the legendary debate team portrayed in the 2007 film, The Great Debaters. Timothy O’Donnell is furthering Farmer's footsteps by developing high-quality debate teams at historically black colleges and universities. Also: As entrepreneurs in a largely segregated trade, African-American funeral directors were among the few black individuals who were economically independent. Suzanne Smith, in her book, To Serve the Living, shows how their financial freedom gave them the ability to support the struggle for civil rights as well as bury the dead.
