Oral history interview with Willa V. Robinson, January 14, 2004
interview U-0014, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Willa V. Robinson
This interview reveals a variety of responses to the integration process in North Carolina. Willa V. Robinson describes the integration process in Maxton, N.C. Robinson, who grew up poor in this small town in eastern North Carolina, attended all-black schools, and her children were among the last students in the area to attend segregated schools. The Maxton area has a significant Indian population, but their presence did not seem to complicate the integration process or many whites' response to it. Some whites responded by burning down a black school, but most simply pulled their children from public schools. The legacy of this flight is underfunded public schools.
