    One of the most significant battles to be fought on American soil happened here in Hampton Roads just fifty years ago. When Norfolk citizens struggled to reopen public schools that had been shut in defiance to racial integration, Virginia's infamous policy of Massive Resistance made national headlines. To the eyes of many today, their community is still recovering from that fight. VSC Artistic Director Chris Hanna will weave excerpts from original media coverage, court documents, and recorded personal accounts with imagined scenes and characters he creates to examine the legacy Massive Resistance provides the region today.
