- Description:
- In this transcript of an oral history interview conducted circa June, 1990, by Kathleen Hoke with Jo Spivey, Spivey primarily discusses race relations in Greensboro throughout the 1950s and 1960s, especially as they related to her career at the Greensboro News and Record. She describes her personal relationships with black people, school desegregation, and the impact of the Brown decision, the February 1, 1960, sit-in at Woolworth's and how she came to be there, the 1969 riot at NC A&T, threats she received, and her impressions of the Black Panthers and the Ku Klux Klan. Spivey also discusses other colleagues at the Record and policies of the newspaper.
