Abstract / Summary

These interviews focus on the University of North Carolina foodworkers' strikes against the University of North Carolina Food Service, February-March 1969 (interviews E-55-82), and against SAGA Food Service, November-December 1969 (interviews E-83-92). The participants in the strikes were primarily African-American women, although many university groups ultimately became involved. The individuals interviewed include foodworkers, members of the Black Student Movement, members of the Southern Student Organizing Committee, and other students, mediators, lawyers, faculty members, and university officials. The interviews establish the chronology and role of each participant and address the issues of class, race, and gender raised by the strikes. Other topics include student protests in the 1960s, university-town relations, and the university's position in state government.
