From the arrival of the first ship in present day Hampton in 1619 bringing a cargo of enslaved Africans captured by Pirates from a slave ship, our ancestors fought to be acknowledged as human beings with equal inalienable rights. Being born black we inherited what would become a lifelong challenge to overcome the disparities for of our skin color. Mother Africa birthed seven continents, but the evolution of mankind bestowed upon the people of color a position of servitude. From the Pharaohs and King and Queens of Egypt, our ancestors where systematically murdered, driven away and eventually replaced. We are resilient. Despite 397 years of social injustice, as Mary Angelou would say, “We Still Rise”.

  • The History of Princess Anne County Training School and Union Kempsville High School Princess Anne County/Virginia Beach, Virginia 1925-1969
    The History of Princess Anne County Training School and Union Kempsville High School Princess Anne County/Virginia Beach, Virginia 1925-1969 Joanne Harris Lucas Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Educational Leadership and Policy Studies N. Wayne Tripp, Co-Chair Travis W. Twiford, Co-Chair Carol S. Cash Violet J. Hoyle February 14, 2013 Virginia Beach, Virginia Keywords: Black, County Training School, Desegregation, Industrial Education, Massive Resistance, Segregation, Separate-But-Equal The History of Princess Anne County Training School and Union Kempsville High School Princess Anne County/Virginia Beach, Virginia 1925-1969 Joanne Harris Lucas Abstract The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the history of Princess Anne County Training School and Union Kempsville High School in Princess Anne County/Virginia Beach, Virginia. The method of inquiry was qualitative, historical research that relied on oral histories to provide a cultural understanding of the school from the perspectives of its students, administrators, teachers, and staff. The school’s history was reconstructed through direct engagement with individuals whose interviews recounted the establishment, growth, operation, and demise of Princess Anne County Training School/Union Kempsville High School. In order to minimize the nostalgic influence and bring greater validity to the oral histories, data were also collected from historical accounts, school board and community organization minutes, local periodicals, and school artifacts. Segregation cultivated legally separate-but-equal schools for Blacks and Whites, with little or no attention given to actual equality.
