The story of Summerton and its schools is a footnote to history. On the surface, daily life in this small South Carolina town today is a far cry from that of a half century ago. At the same time, little seems to have changed—and many residents seem to prefer it that way. And with good reason, for the townspeople—especially whites—continue to cast a wary eye at Summerton's place in history. The town is home to Briggs v. Elliott, the first of five cases later consolidated into Brown v. Board of Education and arguably the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. |
