- Description:
- This transcript of a June 6, 1973, oral history interview conducted by William Chafe with Kay Troxler primarily documents Ms. Troxler's memories of school desegregation and integration in Greensboro in the 1960s and early 1970s. Troxler mainly discusses a tutoring program for junior high students in the White Oak community, lack of participation from members of the Pisgah Church Road area, involvement from Greensboro College and other colleges, and the end of St. Pius X Catholic School's involvement. She also recalls lobbying superintendent Phil Weaver and the school board to implement geographic-based school assignments, and their fight against the Deaprtment of Health, Education, and Welfare. Other topics include women's support of school desegregation; local activist groups in the 1970s such as GAPP and GUTS; the decline of the Greensboro Citizens Association's civic involvement; Bennett College's role in the community; and Edwin Edmonds' controversial ideas.
