Description

This image shows two men sitting at a table speaking with Harry Lee Swint, one of the speakers at a conference titled "Institute on the Negro in American History," held at Appalachian State University (1967-current) during the summer of 1969. The federally-sponsored institute focused on the presence of the African-American in American history and included speakers such as scholars Claude Brown, Bell Irvin Wiley, George B.

It was directed by Appalachian State History Professor George Antone and followed with another conference titled, "Teaching Black History," which focused on integrating African-American history into history curriculums.
