Farmville, Virginia Moton High School is the site of a 1951 student-led strike over conditions at the segregated school. The resulting lawsuit became part of and provided the most plaintiffs for Brown v. Board of Education. The school, now an award-winning museum affiliated with Longwood University, is the student birthplace of the American Civil Rights Movement.
