Memphis? Greensboro? No, this is Chapel Hill. Newcomers to Carrboro\/Chapel Hill might be surprised to learn that our communities were riven by racism through the tumultuous \u00e2\u20ac\u212260s. From the Roland Giduz Collection at UNC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Wilson Library comes this 1963 image of protesters picketing the Long Meadow Dairy Bar on what is now Franklin Street\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hip and trendy west end. Truth to tell, the summer before the indefatigable newsman shot this image with his trusty 4&#215;5 Speed Graphic, I worked here as a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153soda jerk\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and was shamefully na\u00c3\u00afve of the Dairy Bar\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s segregationist policy (blacks were served at the ice cream counter but couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sit down in the dining room). But all that would soon change; by the following autumn, the Dairy Bar had changed its policy and I, a freshie at UNC, was out in the streets protesting too. Photo-historians will recognize this building, directly across the street from Chapel Hill Tire, as the former location of the legendary Pyewacket restaurant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A THOUSAND WORDS<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you have an important old photo that you value?
