"I didn’t feel that we were poor -- a lot of black people didn’t find that out until the War on Poverty – but during the time that I was growing up I didn’t feel that we were poor because we always had plenty to eat, we had clothes to wear, we could go to school, we could participate in things in school."

Interviewees discuss African American life and race relations in Chapel Hill, as well as education, discipline, extracurricular activities, and high school social life before and after integration.
