School Transportation Survey: Loudoun County
August, 1947
Scanned by the Edwin Washington Project, 1/25/2017
Welcome to the Edwin Washington Project
www.edwinwashingtonproject.org
In June, 1867, a “colored” 16 year old boy named Edwin Washington worked in a hotel
in Leesburg, Virginia for five dollars a month, plus board, with the “privilege of coming
to school” in between errands. Unfortunately, this meant he couldn’t attend school on a
regular basis, or at all during court weeks. Still, he went to class whenever he could.
This research project is a monument to Edwin and all of the African-American children
and their parents, educators and patrons of that time and through to the end of
segregation in Loudoun County in order to honor their bravery and tenacity to learn.
The project is done in collaboration with the Records Office of the Loudoun County
Public Schools, local history clubs, private and government archives and the Black
History Committee of the Friends of the Balch Library.
