Unks’ film ‘Town Before Brown’ to air May 10
The film “The Town Before Brown” will be featured on the
“N.C. Visions” series shown on WUNC-TV. It is scheduled to air on the May 10
program between 11 p.m.
and midnight.
Gerald Unks, professor of education, wrote and produced the
film to help students in his Education 41 class, “The School in American
Society,” understand about de jure segregation in Chapel Hill and other parts
of the South and into the Midwest before the 1954 landmark Brown v. Board of
Education
decision. That decision struck down the
“separate but equal” clause that had sanctioned
segregated schools.
The film features interviews with individuals,
both black and white, who lived in Chapel Hill during the era of segregation.

Nominations open for American Academy of Arts and Sciences
Every spring, members of the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences have the opportunity to nominate their peers for membership in the
academy. Current members only may make nominations.
To assist campus members of the academy in identifying those
who may be sufficiently
accomplished in their respected disciplines to warrant nomination for
membership, a list follows of UNC members who can be contacted if you have a
colleague to propose for nomination.
Some disciplines on campus are not yet
represented among current members of the academy from UNC. In such cases,
contact
Jo Ann Gustafson (962-1319 or joann_gustafson@unc.edu), and she will help find
sponsors in cases where there is no obvious fit.
To help academy members avoid the work of preparing
duplicate nominations, contact Tony Waldrop, vice chancellor for research and
economic development, by May 21 if you are suggesting a potential nominee
(962-1319 or twaldrop@unc.edu).
For more information, see www.amacad.org.
