The Kanawha County Textbook War

By jbottero

(2026-05-07)

The Kanawha County Textbook War, also known as the Kanawha County Textbook Controversy, was a violent school control struggle in the 20th century United States. It led to the largest protests ever in the history of Kanawha County, West Virginia, the shooting of one bystander, and extended school closings. The controversy erupted in 1974 when new, multicultural textbooks were introduced that some parents considered blasphemous. The boycott escalated quickly. Nine thousand out of 45,000 elementary school students in the county were kept home from school. Thousands of miners, bus drivers, and trucking workers joined in the boycott. The Department of Education called for a compromise, but a local preacher denounced them, demanding that the boycott continue until the books were permanently removed and the supporting members of the school board fired. Bombs were planted at an elementary school and a school board building; Midway Elementary School was dynamited, school buses were attacked with shotguns, and rocks were thrown at the homes of children who continued to attend school during the boycott.

Kanawha County is a county in the U.S. state of West Virginia. The word Kanawha, derives from the region's Iroquoian dialects, meaning "water way" or "Canoe Way", implying the metaphor "transport way". Kanawha County was named in honor of the Kanawha River that runs through the county.

Hanford was a small agricultural community in Benton County, Washington State. In the spring of 1943, the U.S. Government seized 586 square miles of desert in southeast Washington and ordered everyone to pack up and move within 90 days, for the purpose of developing the Hanford Site. Constructed in 1916, this building is one of the few surviving structures from the town of Hanford.

The Manhattan Project converted the high school into offices. The surrounding area became a bustling construction camp that housed the workforce that built B Reactor and Hanford’s other plutonium production facilities. The camp opened in 1943 and soon had a population of over 40,000. By the summer of 1945, it was the third largest city in Washington State. The camp’s approximately 1,175 buildings were moved or demolished once plutonium production began.
