School integration

Lavonne Casey discusses her experiences growing up in Haywood County, Western North Carolina, in the '60s and '70s during the Civil Rights Movement, the strange dichotomy of living in a mixed-race community where everyone was neighborly and children played together, yet attended separate schools, the work her parents did to advance the cause of school desegregation, and the effects of integration on the community.
