In 1961, that's when my daughter was twelve years old, and she was into the same thing that I wanted. I didn't know, the night that she went to Diamond Hill. Virgil Wood was there, holding a [mass] meeting for the kids from Dunbar, to see if they wanted to fill out applications to start the School Board process—to see if they would accept those applications. And when she came home that night and told me that this was what she wanted to do, I told her, "Well you can't do anything until we call your father.

These four kids had made up their minds, that they wanted to go to [E.C. Glass] because it had more to offer them. There was nothing wrong with the teachers. Dunbar  had beautiful teachers. 1
