Edith Mayfield Wiggins (1942- ) was one of five African American students admitted in 1958 to the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina (WC), now The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. After graduating from WC in 1962, she received her Master of Social Work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1964. Wiggins retired as interim vice chancellor of student affairs at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Wiggins discusses living in Greensboro, High Point, and Winston-Salem, North Carolina because her father was a Methodist minister and the family moved frequently. Wiggins recalls visiting the Woman's College before she graduated from high school and being made welcome by the black students on campus. She discusses how helpful the Shaw Residence Hall black housekeepers, Annie Reeves and Victoria Johnson, were to all the early African American students, the lack of social life on campus because there were no black males, and working on campus plays. Wiggins recalls the 1960 Greensboro Sit-ins, segregated downtown Greensboro, and how segregation has shaped her life.
