- Description:
- This is a six-page, typed set of notes by William Chafe from a July 6, 1972, interview with D. Edward Hudgins. Shorthand is used throughout, including "GB" for "Greensboro." Chafe notes that Hudgins discussed the Greensboro Board of Education's response to Brown v. Board of Education, including passing a resolution to comply; creating neighborhood schools instead of focusing on racial balance; backlash against the board's resolution. He shared his personal feelings on school desegregation, saying that he thought the decision was inevitable, but that he understood why many Southerners were unable to accept it. He said that he felt there weren't enough people of the power-structure speaking out on desegregation, and discussed the involvement of the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce, local churches, local media, and people in higher education. At the end of the notes on the interview are Chafe?s observations of Hudgins and the interview. These interview notes form part of Duke History professor William Chafe?s research culminating in his 1980 book Civilities and Civil Rights.
