Hal, it may be that no anti-integration vouchers were ever used in North Carolina, but not so in Virginia. When Prince Edward County closed its schools rather than integrate, Prince Edward Academy was created and state tuition grants and county tax credits were used by parents who sent their children there.
Interestingly, Prince Edward Academy made the transition from seg-academy to respected, and apparently diverse, private school over the years. It’s now called The Fuqua School, so named after J.B. Fuqua gave it (and Duke) a bunch of money in the 1980s.
School President Ruth Murphy (an elementary school principal in Durham before moving to The Fuqua School, by the way) stresses that the school “seeks to be inclusive by serving all interested and qualified students in the area,” but no mention is made of the old PEA days.
