Here’s an excerpt from Governor J. Lindsay Almond, Jr.’s famous “To those who” speech. He regretted having made it and referred to it as “that damned speech.” Almond was considered a great orator, in his day. | |||

I did an interview c.10 years ago with R.M. “Jack” Davis, who served on Charlottesville’s Massive Resistance city council, when funeral director William “Bill” Hill was mayor. Jack said that the governor himself would come to the council meeting and pressure them to keep the schools segregated. Although he was a product of his era, Jack was a public-spirited individual. I never heard him make a racist remark. --> | |||
