United in Rivalry

Richmond's Armstrong-Maggie Walker Classic

Michael Whitt,

About this book

Around Richmond, its simply known as The Classic. From 1938 to 1979, Armstrong High and Maggie Walker High, the only two all-black high schools within the city limits, converged on the gridiron each Thanksgiving weekend as spirited rivals. Each year
more and more people packed the old City Stadium, sometimes as many as thirty thousand, sometimes too many to count. They cheered as the players fought for field position, pride, and bragging rights, and when the game was over, they fought for equality in the
face of segregation, prejudice, and Jim Crow justice. Enjoy a view from the press box as Richmond sports historian Michael Whitt offers a summary of every ArmstrongMaggie Walker Classic and the often volatile social and political context in which they were played. The two schools may have produced one of Virginias greatest prep rivalries, but they also helped shape its greatest achievement in unity.
