The Burlington Self-Survey in Human Relations: Interracial Efforts for Constructive
Community Change, 1949-1951
--Katrina M. Sanders
KATRINA M. SANDERS describes a community self-survey that residents of Burlington
conducted in 1949-1951 to monitor the town's racial climate. The project was initiated
locally by both black and white residents and drew on the resources of one of
the nation's leading African American institutions of higher education. The citywide
survey revealed discriminatory practices in Burlington, initiated a dialogue between
African Americans and whites on race-related issues, and supplied data that made
it possible to secure support for community change.
