by Salisbury University Students (1991)

1 folder (0.1 linear feet)

In 1991, former Salisbury University Student La Sean Greene collected folk material. Her work pertains to the life of African Americans in the sixties during the civil rights movement. Her objective was to try to understand the origins of the "current" attitudes of African Americans. She interviewed her family members, of whom her grandmother "Nana" was the main informant. Her fieldwork brought up a very emotional series of confession as her informants explained their feelings and recalled what they went through. Unfortunately, all of them refused to be taped. The main conclusion to which all informants concur is that "nothing has changed."
