| Title: | Oral history interview with Raney Norwood, January 9, 2001 |
| Date: | 2001 Jan. 9 |
| Description: | Raney Norwood recalls the maddening process of integration in Chapel Hill. Upon entering the new, integrated Chapel Hill High School, he and other African American students left behind the educational traditions of Lincoln High. They spent their first year at CHHS struggling to reclaim them through nonviolent and violent means. Norwood describes the so-called riot through which black students demanded the restoration of Lincoln's educational and athletic traditions, and one dramatic instance of violent white supremacy which resulted in the death of one of Norwood's friends. This interview presents a picture of a community roiled by the struggle to integrate and the different ways in which black students responded to the uncertainty and injustice of the process. The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata. |
