Project | K.2.19. Southern Communities: Listening for a Change: Stephens-Lee High School, Asheville, N.C. |
Project description | Interviews, conducted by Kelly Navies in 1998, with former faculty, administrators, and students at Stephens-Lee High School in Asheville, N.C., about the school and the impact of desegregation. Built in 1923, for decades Stephens-Lee was western North Carolina's only secondary school for African Americans, drawing students from many counties and serving as a source of pride for the extended African American community. In 1965, Stephens-Lee was closed as part of the area's desegregation plan, and, in 1975, most of the campus was bulldozed. |
