Abstract | In this interview, Doug Clark discusses growing up in segregated Chapel Hill in the 1940s and 1950s. He was a drum major in the marching band after being driven from sports by an overbearing coach at Lincoln High School. Clark also talks about his work with Doug Clark and the Nuts, a pioneering rock and roll band from the late 1950s and 1960s. The Nuts traveled throughout the South playing to audiences of white fraternities. He also describes his treatment by the white audience, the logistics of traveling in the segregated South and the process by which the band garnered a national reputation among college students. |
