‘Double Voting’ in Robeson County: A Reminder of an Unequal Past

Record #:
36503
Author(s):
Abstract:
The author discusses the former practice where white people in towns got to vote for members of their city school system and also got to vote for the members of the county school system. That vote diluted the vote from the county citizens; which led to white men from towns running the county schools.
