- SUSAN UPTON:
-
Just in general, within the community, was it mostly white or was it
mixed in a lot?
- KATHRYN CHEEK:
-
Everything I associate-anything that I participated in
extracurricularly was white, predominately white. Except for girl scouts
I think was a mixture. And I probably left that in junior high at some
time so I don't think I did that in high school. But all my social
interactions were a hundred percent white.
- SUSAN UPTON:
-
The area you lived in, is it mostly a white neighborhood?
- KATHRYN CHEEK:
-
No, it's a mixture. You go in through, you know, you leave Carrboro and
getting outside of town and then there is one group
that is specifically a black area and then you get on into where we
lived. Now it is of course, much more mixed than it was back then.
