The town includes a full range of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century commercial, residential, civic, and transportation-related structures that reflect its late nineteenth-century development as the industrial and commercial center of Sussex County. The core of the district consists of closely spaced commercial buildings located on lots along both sides of Main Street (State Route 40), just west of the railroad crossing. The town’s form is defined by the railroad passing through the region bringing agricultural products and raw materials from western Virginia to coastal markets at Portsmouth and Norfolk. Residential subdivisions grew up to the south and east of the commercial area. An African American neighborhood located to the north of West Main Street expanded as well. Until the 1930s, with the construction of US Route 460 parallel to the railroad, there was no major highway through the community. The consequent increase in traffic encouraged expansion of commercial development to the east along Route 460. Today, Waverly’s variety of building types range in date from the early nineteenth century to the present. The resources display regionally derived vernacular forms, although architectural detailing is often derived from published sources, and displays features associated with the Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, Italianate, Late Victorian, Classical Revival, Colonial Revival, Art Deco, and International styles.

The call was from Virginia Governor Albertis Harrison requesting Hamel serve as the Director of the soon to be established Department of Technical Education. The department, along with its governing board, would quickly establish a system of technical colleges located regionally throughout Virginia, with the first of those colleges opening their doors for classes in the fall of 1965.

  • The First Labor History of the College of William and Mary
    1 Integration at Work: The First Labor History of The College of William and Mary Williamsburg has always been a quietly conservative town. Throughout the first half of the twentieth century to the time of the Civil Rights Act, change happened slowly. Opportunities for African American residents had changed little after the Civil War. The black community was largely regulated to separate schools, segregated residential districts, and menial labor and unskilled jobs in town. Even as the town experienced economic success following the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg in the early 1930s, African Americans did not receive a proportional share of that prosperity. As the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation bought up land in the center of town, the displaced community dispersed to racially segregated neighborhoods. Black residents were relegated to the physical and figurative margins of the town. More than ever, there was a social disconnect between the city, the African American community, and Williamsburg institutions including Colonial Williamsburg and the College of William and Mary. As one of the town’s largest employers, the College of William and Mary served both to create and reinforce this divide. While many African Americans found employment at the College, supervisory roles were without exception held by white workers, a trend that continued into the 1970s. While reinforcing notions of servility in its hiring practices, the College generally embodied traditional southern racial boundaries in its admissions policy as well. As in Williamsburg, change at the College was a gradual and halting process. This resistance to change was characteristic of southern ideology of the time, but the gentle paternalism of Virginians in particular shaped the College’s actions.

    A RUMBLING IN THE MUSEUI^t: THE OPPONENTS OF VIRGINIA'S MASSIVE RESISTANCE James Howard Hershman, Jr. Leesburg, Virginia B.A., Lynchburg College, 1969 M.A., Wake Forest University, 1971 A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Corcoran Department of History University of Virginia August, 1978 0 Copyright by James Howard Hershman, Jr 1978 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT A Rumbling in the Museum: The Opponents of Virginia's Massive Resistance James Howard Hershman, Jr. University of Virginia, 1978 This dissertation is a study of the blacks and white liberals and moderates who opposed Virginia's policy of mas- sive resistance to the United States Supreme Court's school desegregation ruling in the Brown case. The origin of and continued demand for desegregation came from black Virginians who were challenging an oppressive racial caste system that greatly limited their freedom as American citizens. In the 1930's they b^gan demanding teacher salaries and school facilities equal to their white counter- parts. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People provided lawyers and organizational assistance as the school protests became a mass movement among black Virginians. In 1951, the protest became an attack on public school segre- gation itself. /V The Brown decision and the response to it split white opinion into three groups. A few white liberals publicly ac- cepted racial integration as good; extreme segregationists vehemently rejected any change in the racial caste system; a third group occupied the more complex middle or moderate posi- tion.
