Southern communities: Listening for a change: Segregation and integration of North Carolina athletics programs, 1998-2000 (Abstract K.6).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49820099

Interviews conducted by Pamela Grundy as part of her research for a book on North Carolina athletics, "Learning to Win: Sport, Education and Social Change in Twentieth-Century North Carolina" (University of North Carolina Press, 2001). The interviews with John McLendon and James Ross deal largely with African American sport during segregation. Ross's interview also contains a good deal of material on African American community life generally. The interviews with William Friday and Susan Shackelford deal with athletics and integration. The Shackelford interview focuses on the integration of high school cheerleading, and also contains some observations about school integration in general. Note that other projects in this series are cataloged in other Series K catalog records.
