The A.T. Johnson School in Montross, Virginia, was a vital educational institution for African American students during segregation. Opened in 1926, it provided education to the Black community in Westmoreland County, offering a high-quality curriculum and fostering a sense of pride and achievement. The school was named after Dr. A.T. Johnson, an influential local African American leader and educator, and it played a key role in advancing educational opportunities for Black children in the region.
Today, the A.T. Johnson School stands as a monument to the resilience and determination of African American families during a time of systemic inequality. It has since been preserved as a historical site, where visitors can reflect on the contributions of educators like Dr. Johnson, whose dedication to education helped shape the lives of generations in the Northern Neck.
