| | Hamilton - Prince Edward's 'Massive Resistance" |
| | This, tragically, is Prince Edward County, Virginia, a small, rural, pine and tobacco county 65 miles southwest of Richmond, 50 miles east of Lynchburg, in the "black belt," with a population of about 18,000 divided roughly half white, half Negro. | | | In Prince Edward County, men today summon courage to defend false ramparts and hollow ideals; they swing swords for a parochial "sovereignty" which was surrendered with Lee's sword long ago; they hoist battle flags emblazoned with cries of patriots of an earlier day who would, if they had breath today, denounce the blasphemy. | | | If I have dwelt more on the past than the present, it is because Virginians involved in this story dwell more on the past and because, if we read in the daily press of limbs and branches, the roots also lie in the past. |
