Case: Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County

Dorothy E. Davis and others brought action against the County School Board of Prince Edward County, Virginia, and others to have constitutional and statutory provisions requiring the teaching of white and colored children in separate schools declared invalid and, in the alternative, to have inequalities between while and colored schools corrected. The District Judge, Bryan, J., held that constitutional and statutory provisions requiring the teaching of colored and white children in separate schools were not invalid, but that there were inequities in buildings, facilities, curricula, and busses furnished negro children and white children, and that such inequalities should be corrected.
