Description

On a cold winter night in February 1967, a rock shattered a bedroom window, and outside, members of the Ku Klux Klan burned a cross on her family's lawn. This traumatic event marked just one of many challenges Virginia Walden Ford faced as a child in segregated America.

In her searing new memoir, School Choice: A Legacy to Keep, Virginia recounts the lessons she learned from those experiences and the legacies handed down by her parents and ancestors. Thirty years later, she drew on these insights to build an army of parents fighting for school choice in Washington D.C., facing off against prominent politicians along the way.

This dramatic true story tells of how poor D.C. parents, with unlikely allies, fought for a better future for children, ultimately winning their struggle.
