Linwood Holton
Hailed across the nation for his progressive stands on busing, race relations and integration, Linwood Holton was Virginia’s first Republican governor of the 20th century. His election in 1969 was the culmination of a lifetime struggle to break the Byrd Machine and transform Virginia to a two-party state.

The story of his personal leadership, which brought the Commonwealth into a new era and heralded the beginning of the “New South,” is told in NO HIGHER HONOR: Linwood Holton.
