Being excluded is not new to 69-year-old Veney.

After attending all-Black schools, Veney was one of six Black students to integrate Luray High School in 1964.

“Before that, the Black school was not a certified high school. Parents would send their kids to Fairfax and other counties in Northern Virginia to live with relatives, so they could get a certified diploma,” Veney said.
