Justice Department Pushes For Prince Edward County Schools Reopen
The Justice Department urged the 4th Circuit to order Prince Edward County Virginia schools opened without racial segregation. Since 1959 the county’s public schools have been closed amid desegregation battles, leaving about 1,300 Negro children with little or no formal education. The brief argues the court can require local taxes to fund an efficient nondiscriminatory system and that this suit does not fall under the 11th Amendment. The case has been argued multiple times in district and appellate courts, with the next hearing set for January 7.
