You have heard of the Montgomery Boycott, the bombing in Birmingham, the sit ins at Greensboro, North Carolina, the students in Prince Edward County, Virginia and the Freedom Riders during the Civil Rights Era. This is the story of the integration of the school systems in Prince William County, Virginia. It is the story of the Russell Family — Reverend James P. Russell, President of the NAACP, who selected his daughter Joyce to integrate Gar-Field High School in Woodbridge, Virginia, her sister Deborah and brother Cameron to integrate Occoquan Elementary School, and brother Jimmy to integrate Fred Lynn Middle School. It tells of the danger of their house being shot up on a hot July night, and how Bobby Kennedy sent the Federal Marshals the next morning to get Joyce out of the area. It describes the true feelings of fear, courage, and endurance as well as ostracism and harassment that led to a phone call from A. Philip Randolph encouraging Joyce to stay in school at her lowest moment.

Murder in a Chattanooga Jail

In the early morning hours of December 2, 1983, a man lay dying on the floor of the infamous Chattanooga Jail. This is the story of that man, his life, his death, his family, and how the struggle for justice has led to a series of victories and defeats in Chattanooga. Few people know the true story behind this struggle, because the story is at once intensely private and publicly misinterpreted. This is my attempt to tell the real story from my perspective and from the perspective of those closest to me who contributed to the fight. What has been accomplished? Where do we go from here? Who defines that direction? And what is lost or won in that definition?
