Court Delays Ruling On Prince Edward County School Reopen
A federal appeals court in Richmond declined to order Prince Edward County to reopen its public schools. The county closed schools in 1959 to avoid desegregation, and the court said Virginia state courts must first interpret state law, with a Virginia Supreme Court hearing scheduled later this year. The case traces to a 1952 ruling and a 1954 desegregation decision, noting about 1,600 Black students have had little formal instruction since closures.
