- Description:
- In this transcript of a May 28, 1989, oral history interview conducted by Kathy Carter with Colvin Leonard, Leonard recalls race relations in Greensboro from the late 1940s through the 1960s. He describes being at the Woolworth's lunch counter when the February 1, 1960, sit-in occurred, and how, at the time, it did not seem like a dramatic, historic event. He provides details of demonstrations and pickets, commends the police department for maintaining peace, and describes his personal relationships and experiences with black citizens.
