From inside dust jacket: This is the story of Virginia's painful transition from a segregated past to an integrated future. It is also Lindsay Almond's story, because he was cast as the period's central character. Rather than obey federal court orders to integrate Virginia's public schools in 1958, Harry Byrd's Democratic organization chose to shut down class rooms across the state. J. Lindsay Almond, Jr., the Byrd machine's candidate for governor in 1957, had been elected on a platform of fighting integration. Earlier as state attorney general, and then as governor, Almond was Byrd's designated leader in the organization's fight against federal intervention. Almond's main weapon was his great oratorical powers, which he used throughout the 1950s to attack the federal government, the NAACP and the drive for civil rights. Then, on January 28, 1959, just a week after delivering one of his most scathing outbursts against integration, Almond abruptly relented and changed course. Citing Vir

Carefully packed and quickly sent. 201512301 Edwin Orr Denby (February 4, 1903 - July 12, 1983) was an American writer of dance criticism, poetry and a novel. In 1935, soon after Denby's return to New York City, Orson Welles and John Houseman asked him to adapt Eugène Marin Labiche's Un Chapeau de Paille d'Italie for the stage. The play, titled Horse Eats Hat, was scored by Paul Bowles and was performed as a Works Progress Administration Federal Theatre Production in 1936. Denby spent his childhood first in Shanghai, China, then in Vienna, Austria, where his father served as consul general from 1909 to 1915, before coming to the United States in 1916. He was educated at the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Connecticut; and attended Harvard University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but failed to graduate. He also attended classes at the University of Vienna, before obtaining a diploma in gymnastics (with specialty in modern dance) at the Hellerau-Laxenburg school in Vienna in 1928. He performed for several years, notably with the Darmstadt State Theater and celebrated triumphs alongside Claire Eckstein, a German ballerina and choreographer.[2] Looking for someone to take his passport photo, he encountered photographer and filmmaker Rudy Burckhardt in Switzerland in 1934, and the two remained inseparable for the rest of Denby's life. The following year, they returned to New York City, New York, and rented a loft for eighteen dollars a month in a five-story walk-up building on West 21st Street in Chelsea. Denby's friendship with painter Willem de Kooning. During his lifetime, being ambivalent about the publication of his poetry, he was known primarily as a dance critic.
