Historical NoteIn September 1973, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill established an oral history program devoted to the study of the southern region. The Southern Oral History Program is engaged in the collection of interviews with individuals in North Carolina and in the South who have made significant contributions to various fields of human endeavor. In addition, the Program undertakes special projects with the purpose of rendering historically visible those whose consciousness and experience are not reflected in traditional written sources. The result is the preservation of information that exists only in the minds of living men and women, material which, if unrecorded, would soon be lost. The Program has established projects in several areas-- individual biographies, southern women, workers and labor movements, contemporary politics, and North Carolina social history. In addition, the Program serves as a collecting agency; tapes and transcripts are donated to the Program by other researchers. In 1994, a gift from Walter Royal Davis enabled the Southern Oral History Program and the Academic Affairs Library to establish the Davis Oral History Fund and to launch five projects aimed at understanding how North Carolinians have dealt with the changes that have transformed the state since the Great Depression. These projects focus on University history; North Carolina politics; business history; women's leadership and grassroots activism; and memory and community studies. Interviews done directly under the auspices of the Southern Oral History Program are conducted by Program staff, graduate students, faculty members, and consultants. The structure of the interview depends on its purposes. In some cases, lengthy biographical memoirs are undertaken. In others, interviews focus only on the specific aspects of the respondent's experience that bear on the historical concerns of the interviewer. Transcripts are available for many of the interviews. Inaudible phrases may be indicated in the transcripts by a blank space, appearing: ( ). Ellipses indicate a pause in speech. False starts are omitted and punctuation is added for the sake of clarity. It should be noted that transcripts vary somewhat in style and appearance. Early transcripts were corrected by hand; in later ones, corrections have been typewritten. Abstracts or tape indexes exist for many interviews, and introductory biographical sketches have been prepared for some interviews. Some transcripts were returned to the interviewee for approval. If necessary, a revised transcript was prepared. In cases where transcripts have been significantly rewritten, a note to that effect is appended. Back to TopCollection OverviewAs of September 2006, the Southern Oral History Program Collection consists of twenty series, as follows:
Series B. Individual Biographies Series C. Notable North Carolinians Series D. Rural Electrification Series E. Labor Series F. Fellowship of Southern Churchmen Series G. Southern Women Series H. Piedmont Industrialization Series I. Business History Series J. Legal Professions Series K. Southern Communities Series L. University of North Carolina Series M. Black High School Principals Series O. Foundation History Series P. The Press and the Civil Rights Movement (in process) Series Q. African American Life and Culture Series R. Special Research Projects Series S. Center for Creative Leadership Series U. The Long Civil Rights Movement: The South Since the 1960s Series V. The Hayti Spectrum: Documenting Negro Life of the 1920s, '30s, and '40s in Durham, N.C. Photographs and other related materials: A few interviews or interview series have related photographs, notes, or other materials. The existence of these materials is noted in the series or item description as appropriate. Using the collection: The Southern Oral History Program views oral history not as an end in itself, but as an additional tool for exploring social life in past times. Interviews constitute primary source material, retrospective evidence of individual experiences and perceptions. Those who use the Program's tapes or transcripts are cautioned to bring to them the same rules of evidence applied to other forms of historical documentation, testing one interview against another as well as against written sources. The Program makes no representation as to the factual accuracy of a memoir; the scholar judges for him or herself. For each series, the Program supplies an introduction describing the purpose and origin of the series. Each series is assigned a letter and each interview within the series is assigned a unique number within its series (e.g., A-1, B-1). Arrangement of the interviews within each series varies. Researchers should include both letter and number when requesting interviews. Back to TopOrganization of Collection

431 items.
This series contains interviews conducted for three different projects: (1) Bass-DeVries interviews (original deposit, appendix,
and additional interviews) for The Transformation of Southern Politics, A-1-334, 358; (2) Southern Liberalism interviews by John Egerton, A-335-367; (3) North Carolina Politics interviews, A-370-431.
A.1. Bass-DeVries Interviews, 1973-1975.
335 items.
The Bass-De Vries group of interviews includes discussions with political leaders, journalists, editors, party officials,
political scientists, campaign directors, union officials, civil rights leaders, and congress people from Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. These interviews
were conducted as part of a study of politics in the South between 1945 and 1974 that resulted in The Transformation of Southern Politics: Social Change and Political Consequence Since 1945 (Basic Books, 1976). Some of these interviews are exclusively related to the impact of the civil rights movement, black political
participation, the rise of the Republican Party, and the results of industrialization and urbanization. Others include information
on a broad range of events and movements. Interviews with leaders of regional importance, civil rights activists, and those
persons who exercised political power over long spans of time are of particular interest. Also included are a group of interviews,
largely conducted by the Southern Oral History Program (SOHP) and other University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-Chapel
Hill) groups, that expand on those collected by Bass and De Vries. Among these are in-depth biographical memoirs of national
figures, regional commentators, state party leaders, and local officials. In addition to discussing political issues, each
interview aims at revealing the forces that shape the lives of public people--family culture, childhood experiences, education,
self-concepts, and early political involvements. The process of political decision-making is also examined.
Bass and DeVries interviewed more than 300 respondents from 1973 through 1975. Through a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation,
the Southern Oral History Program provided transcripts for 215 of the most important interviews. Some of these interviews
are exclusively related to the themes in The Transformation of Southern Politics: the impact of the civil rights movement, black political participation, the rise of the Republican Party, and the results of industrialization and urbanization. Others include information on a broad range of events and movements. Interviews with leaders of regional importance, civil
rights activists, and those persons who exercised political power over long spans of time are of particular interest.
Jack Solomon Bass (1936- ) is a political reporter. He received a B.A. degree in journalism from the University of South Carolina and was a
Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. From 1966 to 1973, he served as Columbia, S.C., bureau chief for the Charlotte Observer. He is the author of Porgy Comes Home: South Carolina After 300 Years (1972) and other books. Walter DeVries (1931- ) is a political consultant. He received his Ph.D. degree in political science from Michigan State University. From
1962 to 1967, he was executive assistant to Governor George Romney of Michigan. Since 1973, he has served as associate professor
in the Institute of Political Sciences and Public Affairs at Duke University. He is also director of the North Carolina Institute
of Politics.
The additional interviews expand on those collected by Bass and DeVries through in-depth biographical memoirs of national
figures, regional commentators, state party leaders, and local officials. In addition to discussing political issues, each
interview aims at revealing the forces that shape the lives of public people-family, culture, childhood experiences, education,
self-concepts, and early political involvements. The process of political decision-making is also examined. Most of these
interviews were conducted by the Southern Oral History Program and students and faculty of the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill. Three interviews were received on exchange, one each from Rice University, Columbia University, and Louisiana
State University. Two interviews with Terry Sanford were donated by the interviewer, Joe B. Frantz. The three interviews with
Sam Ervin have been extensively abstracted rather than transcribed, and one interview with L. M. Wright has not been transcribed.
The original deposit contained the 215 interviews for which transcripts were prepared. They are arranged alphabetically within
state groupings. Transcripts for interviews marked with an plus sign (+) are available on microfilm. Following these interviews
is the appendix, containing interviews conducted by Bass and DeVries that were not transcribed. These are also arranged in
state groupings. The Southern Oral History Program was unable to supply any information on how or by whom transcribing decisions
were made. Appendix tapes were transferred to the Manuscripts Department in December 1976. Some attempt has been made to identify
interviewees in this group. Please note that, since tapes are used in lieu of transcripts, quotation is permitted. Interviews
marked with a number sign (#) share a tape with another interview.
Interviews marked with an asterisk (*) are closed or restricted. Interview numbers are not necessarily in sequence, and some
may be missing.

A.2. Southern Liberalism, 1990-1991.
34 items.
These interviews were conducted in late 1990 and early 1991 by John Egerton as part of the research for a book on the post-World
War II era and the opportunities that era presented for positive action on civil rights. Many interviews are with individuals
who were involved in various ways in the civil rights struggle. In the interviews, Egerton focused on the interviewees' careers
between 1945 and 1950 and their opinions of various individuals, institutions, and events. Some topics covered extensively
include the New Deal and Franklin Roosevelt, the University of North Carolina and Frank Graham, the Southern Conference for
Human Welfare, and the Brown decision. Researchers should note that, at times, much of the discussion concerns Egerton's thesis
about the time period and the interviewee's reaction to that thesis.
Interviews marked with an asterisk (*) are closed or restricted. Interview numbers are not necessarily in sequence, and some
may be missing.
