Correspondence between Kenneth Hjelmervik and Virginia Carty

The same week that Brown v. Board of Education was decided, Kenneth Hjelmervik, Director of Music Education in the Baltimore Public Schools, wrote to Virginia Carty asking for help accommodating several African-American students in need of a teacher. She and Reginald Stewart agreed to do this, noting that they might have a branch school “in a neighborhood more convenient for these students.”
