Abstract | Claude Barnes was interviewed to gain insight into activities surrounding his election as junior class president at Dudley High School (Greensboro, N.C.) in 1968. These events lead to student riots that ultimately spread to A&T College (now North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University). Barnes describes the riots and the National Guard shootout at Scott Hall. A student named Willie Grimes was shot and killed on A&T's campus during this unrest. Barnes discusses his education, activism, involvement with the Black Power movement, career as a political science teacher, and current position at the Beloved Community Center. |
