• EWP Petition St Louis Feb 1931
  On February 9, 1931, Laura Cook, a teacher at St. Louis school, wrote a letter to the Loudoun County School Board expressing concerns about the overcrowded conditions of the school. With 71 students in attendance, the lack of space and resources was hindering her ability to give each child the necessary attention. Cook, along with a group of parents and friends of the school, requested an extra room and another teacher for the next school term to alleviate these issues. The letter, signed by a number of concerned individuals, outlined the urgent need for improved conditions at the school and sought approval and support from the school board.
• EWP Petition Leesburg 1930
  This letter, dated May 14, 1930, addressed to Mr. Robert M. Coe in Leesburg, Virginia, demonstrates the efforts made by patrons and taxpayers of the Leesburg School District to advocate for the appointment of a qualified individual as the fourth teacher at Leesburg Colored Public School. The signatories express their desire for a High School and Normal School graduate to be appointed as the Principal of the school, highlighting the importance they placed on education and the qualifications of the teaching staff. The response from the Division Superintendent indicates a willingness to consider the request and states an intention to recommend a teacher with the requested qualifications or higher for the position.
• EWP Loudoun County Training Center 001
  This text is a petition addressed to the Loudoun County School Board, expressing concern over their plan to purchase land adjacent to the colored high school in Leesburg, Virginia. The petitioners argue that the land is needed for the expansion of the nearby Union Cemetery, which serves as a burial ground for the community. They also point out that only a few colored children attending the high school actually live north of Market Street, where the proposed land is located. The petitioners believe that the location of the land is not suitable for the future needs of the colored children's education, given its remote nature and distance from where the majority of the students reside. Ultimately, they request that the School Board reconsider their decision to purchase the land and prioritize the best interests of the colored youth in the community.
• EWP Petition Leesburg 1932 June 001
  This letter dated May 10, 1932, from the Community League, patrons of the Colored Public School, and taxpayers in Loudoun County, Virginia, to the Board of Education, highlights a call for change in the graded departments of the school. The appeal for improvements in efficiency and other unspecified concerns reflects a desire for a better educational experience for the children attending the school. After thirty years without change, the community league and patrons are advocating for a justifiable plea to appoint teachers that will address their concerns and enhance the learning environment for their children.

• EWP 2-5A 1-1-2 Yr 1940 Petition by L County Wide League for Equal Salaries
  In this petition dated October 9, 1941, The Loudoun County Wide League, a group advocating for educational and civic welfare in Loudoun County, Virginia, called for the establishment of a single salary schedule for teachers, principals, and supervisors without regard to race. They highlighted the disparities in salary between white and Negro educators in Loudoun County, noting that even with equal qualifications and experience, white educators were paid more. Referencing a recent federal court decision in a similar case in Norfolk, Virginia, they argued that such salary differentials based on race were unconstitutional. The petitioners acknowledged that the practice was not initiated by the current leadership but urged the School Board and Superintendent to rectify the situation to align with democratic principles and the law.
