	Television News of the Civil Rights Era : Film & Summaries
		Massive Resistance refers to the policy of the state of Virginia and its leadership to prevent desegregation of schools specifically and more generally to resist federal policies in the 1950s.
		Massive resistance to school desegregation policies closed schools in Norfolk, Charlottesville, and Warren County in fall 1958 and part of 1959, as well as contributed to the closing of schools in Prince Edward County from 1959 to 1964.
		Massive resistance was a colossal failure and horribly misguided state policy; it damaged Virginia in numerous ways.

		The answer to the question (Doesn't a massive object accelerate at a greater rate than a less massive object?) is.
		Massive objects will only fall faster than less massive objects if there is an appreciable amount of air resistance present.
		Thus, the greater force on massive objects is offset by the inverse influence of greater mass.

	The Ground Beneath Our Feet--Massive Resistance

	Massive resistance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Massive Resistance was a policy declared by U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd, Sr.
		In 1956, the Virginia General Assembly passed a series of laws to implement massive resistance.
		Massive resistance was initially replaced by a "Freedom of Choice" plan, under which families and students could opt to attend the public schools of their choice.

	Free Fall Explained (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Air resistance is the result of collisions of the object's leading surface with air molecules.
		The actual amount of air resistance encountered by the object is dependent upon a variety of factors.
		Thus, more massive object fall faster than less massive objects because they are acted upon by a larger force of gravity; for this reason, they accelerate to higher speeds until the air resistance force equals the gravity force.

	The Physics Classroom
		The two most common factors which have a direct effect upon the amount of air resistance present are the speed of the object and the cross-sectional area of the object.
		In situations in which there is air resistance, massive objects fall faster than less massive objects.
		Thus, massive objects fall faster than less massive objects because they are acted upon by a larger force of gravity; for this reason, they accelerate to higher speeds until the air resistance force equals their gravity force.

	The State Responds: Massive Resistance
		Massive Resistance was intended to slow to a crawl attempts to integrate Virginia's schools generally and to minimize the effects of integration where it did occur.
		Massive Resistance became enshrined in the new state constitution.
		Even the eventual ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that Massive Resistance was unconstitutional drew a defiant response from Almond, although the state would eventually comply.

	Free Fall and Air Resistance
		In addition to an exploration of free-fall, the motion of objects which encounter air resistance will also be analyzed.
		The ratio of force to mass (Fnet/m) is the same for the elephant and the mouse under situations involving free fall; this ratio (Fnet/m) is equivalent to the acceleration of the object.
		In situations in which there is air resistance, more massive objects fall faster than less massive objects.

		The Brown decision and Massive Resistance in Norfolk
		On February 1, 1956, at the behest of Byrd, the Virginia legislature passed a corresponding “Interposition Resolution,” pledging that the assembly intended “to resist by every means available the federal government's encroachment upon Virginia 's sovereign powers” over state education policy.
		And second, when Norfolk 's schools were reopened in 1959, it seemed as if a peaceful and legal resolution to the integration crisis might be possible, for Massive Resistance had been bested in the courts.
