Did you know there was a grassroots, bottom up education revolution in West Virginia? There really was. How did it happen? What did it change? And what were the consequences of it for average West Virginians? These are some of the questions that we’ll be exploring in this episode with the help of Giles Leeper’s great grandfather, Lorimer Cavins, who was there when it happened. He researched educational change extensively in the early 1920s and produced a document in 1925 called, “The Financing of Education in West Virginia.”
Educational progress was a very important part of our past. We can study how it happened in order to make it an important part of our future as well.
