- The Behind the Veil Oral History Project
Duke University interviewed a number of African Americans in 1993-1995 to preserve the living memory of African American life during the age of legal segregation in the American South, from the 1890s to the 1950s
The project highlights women who had made significant contributions to American society in the first half of the twentieth century. The interviews discuss family background, childhood, education, significant influences affecting their choice of primary career or activity, professional and voluntary accomplishments, the ways in which being black and a woman had affected their options and the choices made.
