The Freedom of Choice Committee, with the support of the Pittsylvania County Library, School Board and the Danville Regional Foundation, celebrates the completion of a two-year long project documenting the experiences of black students who attended white high schools during the Freedom of Choice era in mid-1960s Virginia. The project culminates with plaque dedications at the County’s four high school in February – coinciding with Black History Month and the 70th anniversary of Brown v Board of Education.
