- In this transcript of an oral history interview circa 1980 conducted by Eugene Pfaff with J.

He describes what it was like to be an African-American attorney in the 1950s and 1960s, several specific cases and other black attorneys, and the role of the NAACP. He also describes his involvement in the integration of Greensboro theatres, and why he stopped his involvement with civil rights issues.
