Book Signing: Judy Humbert & June Gaskins-Davis History of Douglas School Winchester, Virginia

Douglas School was the heart and center of the African-American community of Winchester and Frederick County, Virginia during the days of segregation from 1927 to 1966 when the doors at Douglas was closed as an all black school. Douglas was also vital to the Strasburg and Woodstock communities as their students rode the school bus into Winchester each day for high school. The two communities were very supportive of the students and activities at Douglas. Fellowship and reminiscences continue with the Douglas Alumni Association from 1978 to the present day. In this work, Judy Humbert and June Gaskins-Davis, graduates of Douglas, undertake the task of documenting this story of accomplishments and pride for future generations.
