In 2022, Black students from the Class of 1969 gathered to share their experiences of school integration in Williamsburg, Virginia. The Class of 1969 was the first fully integrated class to graduate from the Williamsburg-James City County (WJCC) Public Schools. "Voices of Integration" explores their experiences of mandatory integration in WJCC Schools. The documentary screening will be followed by a panel presentation featuring W&M faculty members, local leaders and members of affiliated organizations to discuss the film and address the lasting impact of unfinished integration today.
Space is limited, and registration is required.
