  • Civil Rights Activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, 1960-1963
    SUTTELL, BRIAN WILLIAM, Ph.D. Campus to Counter: Civil Rights Activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, 1960-1963. (2017) Directed by Dr. Charles C. Bolton. 296 pp. This work investigates civil rights activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, in the early 1960s, especially among students at Shaw University, Saint Augustine’s College (Saint Augustine’s University today), and North Carolina College at Durham (North Carolina Central University today). Their significance in challenging traditional practices in regard to race relations has been underrepresented in the historiography of the civil rights movement. Students from these three historically black schools played a crucial role in bringing about the end of segregation in public accommodations and the reduction of discriminatory hiring practices. While student activists often proceeded from campus to the lunch counters to participate in sit-in demonstrations, their actions also represented a counter to businesspersons and politicians who sought to preserve a segregationist view of Tar Heel hospitality. The research presented in this dissertation demonstrates the ways in which ideas of academic freedom gave additional ideological force to the civil rights movement and helped garner support from students and faculty from the “Research Triangle” schools comprised of North Carolina State College (North Carolina State University today), Duke University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Many students from both the “Protest Triangle” (my term for the activists at the three historically black schools) and “Research Triangle” schools viewed efforts by local and state politicians to thwart student participation in sit-ins and other forms of protest as a restriction of their academic freedom.

  • Grover's Grill
    Grover's Grill The 43rd Carolinas PGA Hall of Fame Inductee!! Grover Bullin, PGA, was the Golf Professional here at Wilson Country Club from 1947 to 1989. Not only did he help shape what we all love about this great Club, but he is also a cornerstone of developing the game of golf in Eastern North Carolina. Grover was known for his selfless approach to the game and his work to cultivate programs for junior and women golfers. Following his retirement from Wilson Country Club, Bullin continued to grow the game by teaching lessons for the Wilson County Parks and Recreation Department, and developed fundraisers for underprivileged youth in the area. Grover Bullin was voted Carolinas PGA Golf Professional of the Year in 1962. He served on the CPGA Board of Directors from 1964-1966. Wilson Country Club gives a Golf Scholarship at Barton College annually in his name. The Grover Bullin Endowed Scholarship was established in 1989, at the time of his retirement, and is used in place of institutional aid to a member of the golf team. Our Grillroom was renamed Grover’s Grill in 2013 to honor Bullin’s incredible commitment to Wilson Country Club. Thank you for dining with us. Bon appétit!
