Catalog: 12.3: School Bus Routes 1954 (multiple files)
School Bus Routes: Loudoun County

(multiple files.)
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, Churches like the Prosperity Baptist Church of
Conklin, private and government archives and the Black History Committee of the
Friends of the Balch Library.
We also are collecting data on white schools, for the purpose of comparison with
“colored” African-American schools.

See 1954 bus route for Conklin to Arcola, Leesburg and LC High School.
The Leesburg Elementary School and LC High School were white. Conklin
Colored School was of course an African American elementary school,
though whites lived in the community of Conklin
We had a conversation on this today with staff and volunteers. One theory is
that the bus was integrated, though perhaps internally segregated. It will be
interesting to find kids who took the bus 63 years ago, if they are still around,
to ask about their experience.
A different theory, which I propose is that this could not have been about
Conklin Colored School. The route report was written September, 14, 1954
and Conklin Colored closed during the 1953/54 academic year, thus closed in
June , 1954. Therefore, we must be discussing kids in Conklin Village who
were white.
