New Oral History Research Series: “Too Proud to Whitewash: Race and Power in Charleston and the South”

The Oral History Center of The Bancroft Library throughout the academic year hosts occasional presentations of the most current and interesting oral history-based research being conducted today. In this first “brown-bag” presentation of the year, Sonoma State historian Steve Estes will discuss his recently published book, “Charleston in Black and White: Race and Power in the South since the Civil Rights Movement” (University of North Carolina Press, 2015) and the key role oral histories play in it.
