Join us for a visit with Bill Slawter, author of Sit-ins, Drive-ins, and Uncle Sam, as we explore the history of Greensboro during the Civil Rights movements and Vietnam War. 
Bill Slawter is a retired attorney who lives in Asheville. He grew up in the Glenwood neighborhood of Greensboro during the Civil Rights era and his book surveys his life during those years. The book also includes many photographs of the time, some of which were borrowed from the archives of the Greensboro History Museum. Several of these images will be displayed in large scale during the event.
Sit-ins, Drive-ins, and Uncle Sam is memoir-based and extensively researched, the book weaves together the history of the 1960s civil rights movement in Greensboro, N.C. and coming of age in the era of drive-in theaters and restaurants, while living with the fear of being drafted and sent to Vietnam.
Slawter will be in conversation with Jim Schlosser, retired local reporter and author of Remembering Greensboro, and moderated by Glenn Perkins, Curator at the Greensboro History Museum.

This program will be available both in-person and live via Zoom and the Greensboro Public Library's Facebook page. Please click here to register for the Zoom session.
