- Description:
- In this transcript of a December 27, 1980, oral history interview conducted by Eugene Pfaff with Lois Lucas Williams, Ms. Williams discusses the formation of CORE, its leaders, planning and strategy sessions, and her role in the organization as public relations director. She describes various demonstrations held in Greensboro, especially the Thanksgiving 1962 mass arrest and pickets at the cafeterias and theatres in 1963. Williams also provides personal insights into the local and national results of their actions, 'movement burnout,' uselessness of black studies curricula, and token blacks as window dressings in corporate America.
