A historical marker for C. E. Abrams school, which provided high school education to African American pupils during the era of segregation, is located on the grounds of Fluvanna Middle School in central Virginia, along route 76 between Richmond and Charlottesville. In recent years, the history of African American education in the twentieth century has been remembered with museum exhibits and historical markers, including the sign for C. E. Abrams school visible from the main road. This episode explores this history of race and education with particular attention to sites along Route 76 across Virginia where memories of schooling and the implications of segregation are being preserved for the public. The episode is connected to Fluvanna County, located just under 200 miles from Yorktown, the starting point for the westbound route, and just about 350 miles from the Kentucky border, where eastbound riders enter Virginia.
