Dr. Chafe is the Dean of Arts & Sciences at Duke University. He is the author of "Civilities and Civil Rights," the authoritative book on race relations and the Civil Rights Movement in Greensboro, NC. Duke historians William Chafe, Raymond Gavins and Robert Korstad co-direct the Behind the Veil project which documents African American Life in the Jim Crow South. This project represents an effort to correct historical misrepresentations of African American experiences during the period of legal segregation in the U.S. The project, a collaborative research effort, does this by encouraging scholars to listen to the voices of those who survived an era of profound racial oppression.
