Question:Well it's a church play that I'm writing and it's based on black history. It needs to be appropriate for children in elementry school but interesting for high school students. its supposed to be like 20 minutes long so it doesnt need to be elaborate. I only need a few ideas. The last thing about it is that it needs to take place in the 1940 in like west virginia.

I found this online:


1939. On September 11, West Virginia State College President John Warren Davis received approval from the Civilian Aeronautics Authority in Washington, D.C., to establish a Civilian Pilot Training Program at the college, the first African-American college in the country to do so. In the summer of 1940, West Virginia State College became the first black college to enroll white trainees into its flight program, a precedent for integrating the military. Among those enrolled were George Spencer Roberts, who became the first African-American appointed to the United States Army Air Corps. Source: Withrow: From the Grove to the Stars, 140- 145.

1942. On June 26, Governor Matthew Neely, State Superintendent of Black Schools D. T. Murray, and West Virginia State College President John Warren Davis dedicated Camp Washington-Carver in Fayette County as the state's African-American 4-H Camp.
