UNITED STATES - August 13, 2016: The Douglass High School in Leesburg Virginia held it's 75th anniversary celebration on Saturday August 13, 2016. The school is a testament to the tenacity of Loudoun's rich black history. The black community of Loudoun showed un-paralleled strength of character during the desegregation era to get the school built so that their children could obtain an education.
