Could I ask you to please post the Link in re the Dukes and Durham?

Dukie07 -
I'm glad you like the book. Race relations in the south are not always as some would have had you believe. I read a biography of Jefferson Davis where it described his pre-war relationship with his overseer (effectively a plantation business manager) who was a black man who could read, write, and do accounting. That cuts against stereotype in more than a few ways doesn't it?

Didn't I originally recommend the book to you? Did you have a chance to look at it yet? Maybe Dukie07 will sell you her copy when she's done.

Not a link, Alia, but rather a book which I purchased at the Gothic Book Store at Duke. I believe it is available for purchase online. Author is Robert F. Durden. If you'd like, or cannot afford or locate a copy, I'd be happy to send to you when I'm finished with it. FR mail me.

Did a google based on TexKat's suggestion: Here's an interesting site: http://lashawnbarber.com/archives/2006/04/21/duke-rape-case/
