Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In 1958, facing court-ordered integration, Virginia governor J. Lindsay Almond Jr. closed public schools in three cities, one of the first instances of the "massive resistance" embraced by conservative southern politicians in the wake of Brown v.
