  • 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.

    THE LINES CAN GET HAZY, THE VISION REMAINS Dance and Neuroscience have more in common than you think, a Wake Forest education extends far beyond the borders of our campus, and the notion that the liberal arts repel recruiters is antiquated at best. If it ever existed, that line has been erased. The proof can be found in every graduating class. Our lines don’t just blur; they zigzag. Here’s one: come to campus for orientation, head to Denmark for the full freshman year and return for the fall of your sophomore year. Take your day’s first class a few feet from the dorm’s front door, take an eight- minute shuttle trip downtown for engineering classes and be back in time for an intramural soccer game. If there is any certainty regarding lines, it's that they were made to be crossed. Welcome to Wake Forest.
