| Description: | Oral history in which Evander Gilmer discusses growing up in segregated Greensboro and his participation in civil rights activities as a student at North Carolina A&T in 1962 and 1963. He explains the impetus for resuming demonstrations in Greensboro, the leaders involved, the role and activities of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the lack of support from the adult black community, and their later transition to participation.
