Civil rights reenactment honors J R Clifford case at BSC
A Bluefield State College audience heard a staged re enactment of J R Clifford assisting Carrie Williams in suing the Tucker County School Board over pay for teaching black students. The program tied the 1892 case to the 50th anniversary of Brown v Board, with music by local choirs and readings by community members.
