Item description
These thirteen pages of typescript notes are based on historian William Chafe's examination of the personal files of Joanne Bluethenthal, as well as conversations with her at her home in Greensboro in the late 1970s. The notes mostly concern school desegregation issues in Greensboro around 1969 to 1971. Although somewhat fragmentary and unclear, the notes provide names and dates for various activities, citizen and school board groups such as the Concerned Citizens for Schools (CCS), references to newspaper articles, information about lawsuits, as well as Bluethental's personal reflections. These notes were created by Chafe during the course of his research culminating in the publication of Civilities and Civil Rights in 1980.
