TITLE: What Did You Flunk? Summer Schools and the Race for Promotions in Richmond, VA 1911-31
DESCRIPTION: Four Vacation schools opened in the summer of 1911 for six weeks of classes, initially opened only for white students. Seven years later, blacks successfully lobbied for their own summer schools. This fascinating article discusses both, and includes many period photographs of the Richmond City skyline and leading institutions of the day.

FAQ: What is a “Family File” in the catalog?
Our Family Files contain various loose paper research materials donated to us by professional and amateur historians and researchers. They sometimes, but do not usually, also contain copies of pages from published books that would be found on our library shelves. Family Files are arranged by surname and may cover multiple lines and counties, mostly in eastern Virginia. They are of varying quality. Some include carefully researched data complete with citations to sources. Others are simply genealogical charts, family group sheets, handwritten notes, or other data which may or may not include references. Printed or scanned copies can be purchased. Contact us for specifics.
