We regret the action of the City Council and the School Board yesterday because such action is parallel to the Prince Edward County situation. We have always had high hopes that Charlottesville, with its many opportunities for educational and cultural growth would be a shining example for its neighboring communities. To pattern its action after Prince Edward County overshadows all the prospects for a peaceful settlement of the case. Each time we go to court and the NAACP wins the case, the credit goes to the NAACP for making Charlottesville a better place for all people to live.’”
