Catalog: 12.3: School Bus Routes 1952
School Bus Routes: Loudoun County
Routes from 1952 (undated report)
Scanned by the Edwin Washington Project, 1/25/2017
Edwin Washington Project Catalog: 12.3: School Bus Routes 1952
Welcome to the Edwin Washington Project
www.edwinwashingtonproject.org
In June, 1867, a “colored” 16 year old boy named Edwin Washington worked in a hotel
in Leesburg, Virginia for five dollars a month, plus board, with the “privilege of coming
to school” in between errands. Unfortunately, this meant he couldn’t attend school on a
regular basis, or at all during court weeks. Still, he went to class whenever he could.
This research project is a monument to Edwin and all of the African-American children
and their parents, educators and patrons of that time and through to the end of
segregation in Loudoun County in order to honor their bravery and tenacity to learn.
The project is done in collaboration with the Records Office of the Loudoun County
Public Schools, local history clubs, Churches like the Prosperity Baptist Church of
Conklin, private and government archives and the Black History Committee of the
Friends of the Balch Library.
We also are collecting data on white schools, for the purpose of comparison with
“colored” African-American schools.

Principal Investigator
Note: Routes 16, 26, 30, 32, 36 and 40 appear to be for African-Americans. The other
appear to be for whites.
