• RCH 2-5B Yr 2019 Study of Lincoln Purcellville Dispute
  This study authored by Larry Roeder in 2016 contains the summary of the dispute. In 1926, the Lincoln-Purcellville dispute arose over the replacement of Lincoln High School, which had burned down and needed to be rebuilt. Lincoln residents wanted to maintain the school in their community, while Purcellville residents argued for it to be relocated to their town. This conflict highlighted deeper issues of cultural clashes, with underlying prejudice against Quakers for their pacifist beliefs and non-traditional voting patterns. The dispute escalated beyond the School Board, involving county and state government officials as well as the courts, showcasing the evolving landscape of school administration in Virginia. Despite tensions, the conflict was ultimately resolved in favor of Lincoln, with the school reopening in March 1927. This event also shed light on broader issues of civil liberties and freedom of speech during a time of political upheaval and social change.
