Virginia

My first year of my college experience I was friends with a guy from Farmville. Lived down the hall in the dorm. As everyone was getting to know each other he mentioned that he went to private school. We all thought “private school?” We had set ideas of who went to private schools. White people in Prince Edward county just went to private school. There was the rich private schools and ones (supported by the richer folks) for poorer whites. Black kids went to public school. That’s just the way it was.

I think it’s more integrated now but I’m pretty sure the private schools still exist.
