- Description:
- In this transcript of an April 21, 1989, oral history interview conducted by William Link with Frances Lewis, Lewis describes her view of the transition from segregation to desegregation in Greensboro and the progress and changes made in the 30 years since the Woolworth sit-in. She recalls the sit-ins of 1960, the demonstrations of later years, and the eventual integration of public schools. She describes the part she and other students played in bringing about changes, and how black and white communities, churches, and organizations such as the NAACP and CORE assisted in their activities.
