- Description:
- This is a four-page, typed set of notes by William Chafe on a July 6, 1972, interview with George Roach. Shorthand is used throughout, including "GR" for "George Roach" and "GB" for "Greensboro." Chafe notes that Roach discussed Governor Luther Hodges' actions regarding Brown v. Board of Education; local opposition to school desegregation; communication between blacks and whites in Greensboro; the 1960 sit-ins; and meeting with Edward Zane, A&T Dean William Gamble, and business owners. He also shared his support of integration and his high opinion of Greensboro. These interview notes form part of Duke history professor William Chafe's research culminating in his 1980 book Civilities and Civil Rights.
