- Wilson, Carlton
- Description:
- This interview with Dr. Carlton Wilson highlights his experiences as a child chosen to help desegregate public schools in Warrenton, North Carolina during the Civil Rights Movement. In addition to looking at the effects of this school integration on the people of Warrenton, Dr. Wilson provides detailed examples of some of the challenges he and his peers faced as children directly involved in the integration movement. The interview was done in conjunction with the “Somebody Had To Do It" project which is designed as a multi-disciplinary study to identify, locate, interview and acknowledge African American “first children" who desegregated America’s schools. Serving as one of those “first children," Dr. Wilson recounts the dynamics of school desegregation in Warrenton at that time.
