“If I could have did something different, I would’ve said something. But that’s what evil depends on, good people to be quiet.”

Dr. William Lynn Weaver in Fayetteville, NC, speaking to the racism experience at his integrated school in 1964.

“Weaver has never been back to West High School since graduating 50 years ago. After hearing a StoryCorps interview that aired on NPR last month, the current principal reached out, and Weaver says he will return to the school in early 2018 to talk to the students about his experiences with integrating the school.”
