The massive resistance movement in Virginia was led by Governor Harry F. Byrd Sr. in the 1950s. This movement aimed to oppose the desegregation of public schools following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education. Byrd and his supporters implemented policies to delay or prevent integration, including closing schools rather than allowing them to desegregate.
The massive resistance was a policy to unite white politicians and leaders in Virginia to prevent public school desegration. It was led by U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd, Sr. of Virginia.
The massive resistance in the United States, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement, was led by various figures and organizations opposing desegregation and civil rights for African Americans. Prominent among them was Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, who spearheaded the "Massive Resistance" campaign in response to the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954. Local white segregationists, including some state officials and community leaders, also played significant roles in implementing this resistance across the South.
