Abstract |
Burnice Hackney notes that his family has resided in rural Chatham County, on a 100-acre farm purchased by his great-grandfather, since the 1830s. He still resides on the original homestead. In this interview, Mr. Hackney discusses growing up on his family's farm during segregation, and he explains how the land insulated him from racism. He also recounts his experiences attending segregated schools in Chapel Hill, and he talks specifically about his transition from an all-Black high school to an integrated one during the 1960s. He is currently working to build a mixed-use facility near Rogers Rd. for the residents of the area and for the members of St. Paul A.M.E. Church. |
