Alice Battle, who attended segregated Lincoln High School and later taught there, recalls her experiences in pre-integration Chapel Hill. This interview offers an interesting picture of life before integration. Battle tells some familiar stories, such as of the disciplinarian principal of Lincoln High School, C.A. McDougle. She also tells some less familiar ones, such as how poor white students from Carrboro bore the brunt of discrimination alongside black students. Researchers interested in the patterns of daily life in black communities during segregation should look to the first half of the interview for relevant passages.
