This linoleum cut limited edition print has been reproduced as a giclee print. It provides a visual narrative documenting ways in which my family was affected by the resistance to desegregation by the Farmville Virginia Public School system in the early years of the civil rights movement (1950s). My grandmother, Katie Vashti Hudson-Bigger, was named as a plaintiff on behalf of her youngest child Alphonso Bigger, in the Farmville portion of the Brown decision. The staunch opposition to desegregation by the Farmville community precipitated some of my own familys social activism and migration north to Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. I have come to understand this was possible through their longstanding Faith Heritage. Their generational faith often undergrided their social activism. The work created around this narrative explores that particular courage. The adult and child portrayed in this print are my great aunt Julia Hudson and cousin Magnolia Bigger. Family papers reflecting this time period in civil rights history include Aunt Julias teaching application to the Hampden Sydney School. This Martha Forrester school was organized by black churches and community leaders to continue schooling for African Americans who were denied the right to attend public schools in Farmville, Virginia. The Martha Forrester Schools were organized throughout the south and included specialized training for teachers to address the unique circumstance of closed public schools.
