"In the 1964-65 school year, Freedom of Choice was introduced into Pittsylvania County Schools. Several students, showing remarkable Courage, Leadership, and Sacrifice were the first to help break the racial barrier in education. We recognize and celebrate these brave students who were instrumental in paving the way for the transition toward full integration in Pittsylvania County Schools."
