- Description:
- This is a four-page, typed set of notes by William Chafe based on an July 17, 1971, oral history interview with Otis Hairston Sr. Shorthand is used throughout, including "OH" for "Otis Hairston," and "GB" for "Greensboro." Chafe notes that Hairston discussed Greensboro's response to Brown v. Board of Education; Dr. William Hampton's election to the Greensboro School Board; the 1960 and 1963 protests and community support for them; a meeting with Mayor David Schenck during the 1963 protests; communication between blacks and whites in Greensboro; the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce; and why students led the civil rights movement. These interview notes form part of Duke history professor William Chafe's research culminating in his 1980 book Civilities and Civil Rights.
