"Greensboro, City of Racial Paradoxes", by Stephen J. Goldfarb, circa 1993

Committee on the Appeal for Human Rights

1990/1996

1990-1999

An article written by Stephen J. Goldfrab. This article discusses the civil rights movement in Greensboro, N.C. during the 1960s. The city had a paradoxical nature, being both racially moderate and having segregated public facilities and employment. The author of the article, Stephen J. Goldfrab, uses interviews to tell the story of the sit-ins and demonstrations that led to desegregation in Greensboro, but neglects to discuss the role of voting in the civil rights movement. The author refers to Historian William H. Chafes to give context about Greensboro, N.C. 1 page.
