Abstract |
Fred Battle has fought tirelessly for civil rights - he was jailed for participating in a student protest in Greensboro, N.C. - and eventually founded the Chapel Hill chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). In this interview, Mr. Battle discusses segregation in Chapel Hill during the 1950s and 1960s. He describes race relations, race riots, and protests, but also the African American business owners who worked to provide quality products and services for Chapel Hill's African American residents. |
