Please join the Oral History Research Office for a Book Talk with co-authors Anne Valk and Leslie Brown on "Living with Jim Crow: African-American Women and Memories of the Segregated South."

Thursday, October 21, 2010
7:00-8:30pm
Schermerhorn Extension, room 754

Anne Valk, professor of History at Brown University, and Leslie Brown, a professor of history at Williams College, will discuss the oral history research conducted by Duke University on the Jim Crow South that led to the writing of Living with Jim Crow.  As graduate students directing that research in the 1980s, their presence in the project was instrumental to the success of the oral history project that has led to multiple publications and documentary works and informs the book that they have written together on the central findings of their oral history research and methodology.
