This was a transcript of an interview with Malinda Lowery, in which she discussed her book, The Lumbee Indians: An American Struggle. Her responses focused on Lumbee history lessons that can offer better solutions for particular social and environmental issues.

Abstract:
In 1931, Paul Green was asked to change the ending of his play by the directors. The old ending involved the murder of one white former sharecropper by two black sharecroppers after she married the wealthy landowner, while the new ending would spare her life to create a positive image of rising above the class she was born into. This change was originally thought to have been made to cater to the ideology that one can rise about their rank to attain fortune. However, Vines argues that the original ending depicted the real tensions between the white and black populations of the South after reconstruction, and the new ending ignores these issues.

A recent press conference held by the Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP expresses the feelings of many in the community. The issue of falling test scores for low-income and minority students and the lack of minorities enrolled in honors courses were the subject of the press conference. Scores were initially rising until new standards were implemented over the past five years. A change in mindset and new leadership is needed to reduce the gap according to some observers.
