The Robert Russa Moton Boyhood Home, also known as Pleasant Shade, is a historic plantation near Rice in rural Prince Edward County, Virginia. The plantation was the childhood home of African-American educator Robert Russa Moton between 1869 and 1880. The kitchen housing area where Moton lived is also believed to incorporate one of the county's oldest buildings, dating to about 1746. The plantation was also the scene of fighting during the American Civil War, in the later stages of the Battle of Sailor's Creek of April 6, 1865.Edward Chappell, Ann Carter Lee.
