Kevin Kruse, associate professor of history at Princeton University, and Matthew Lassiter, associate professor of history at the University of Michigan, will speak during a 5 p.m. program in the auditorium of WCU’s Mountain Heritage Center.
Focusing on Atlanta, Charlotte, Richmond and other Southern cities, both historians have examined how local municipal policies created residential segregation during and after the civil rights movement, said Elizabeth McRae, WCU assistant professor of history.
The Princeton University Press has recently published books by both authors – Kruse’s “White Flight: Segregationist ‘Rights’ and Resistance” and Lassiter’s “The Silent Majority: Suburban Politics and ‘Color Blind’ Ideology in the Modern South.”
