Massive resistance
Massive resistance was a policy declared by U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd, Sr. of Virginia to unite other white politicians and leaders in Virginia in a campaign of new state laws and policies to prevent public school desegregation, particularly after the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision in 1954. Many schools, and even an entire school system, were shut down in 1958 and 1959, in attempts to block integration before both the Virginia Supreme Court and a special three-judge panel of federal district judges from the Eastern District of Virginia sitting at Norfolk, declared those policies unconstitutional. Although most of the laws created to implement Massive Resistance were overturned by state and federal courts within a year, some aspects of the campaign against integrated public schools continued in Virginia for many more years.
