Abstract:
After the Civil War, white and African American physicians, lawyers, educators, business, and religious leaders in New Bern participated in the local economy, society, and politics. By 1910, Jim Crow laws had changed this, and black businesses no longer were located near white businesses. By the 1940s, African American businesses had been concentrated in the Five Points section. Hipps discusses how the civil rights movement changed New Bern educationally and economically.
