After Bolling: School Desegregation in DC
White students at Anacostia High School and others across the city staged a walkout in early October 1954 to protest school integration. [Reprinted with permission of the DC Public Library, Star Collection © Washington Post] “No one knows how much trouble we went through out here in southeast Washington trying to get suitable facilities for our children,” Luberta Jennings told the Washington Afro-American on May 18, 1954, the day after the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed segregation in public schools. Indeed, the Jennings family had been on the front lines of the fight for equality in Washington for the better part of four years. In the summer of 1950, Luberta and her husband, James, members of Campbell AME Church in Anacostia, had joined the Consolidated Parent Group’s grassroots effort to desegregate District schools.
