The campus newspapers, annuals, and images included are the result of exhaustive research in the archives and special collections of both universities and the daily newspapers of the cities of Durham and Greensboro. Dr. Charles D. Johnson, associate professor and chair of the Department of History at North Carolina Central University, and Dr. Arwin D. Smallwood, professor and chair of the Department of History and Political Science at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, have created an instant classic and a book for the ages.
