Around the Cracker Barrel

Bryant, Edward H., Jr. (Creator)

Edward H. Bryant Jr. graduated from Greensboro College with a BA in English and social studies in 1961. During his time at Greensboro College he was a writer for The Collegian, Greensboro College's student newspaper. Between 1960 and 1961, he wrote a regular column entitled Around the Cracker Barrel, which frequently addressed the issue of race relations. On February 1, 1960, he and two other students, Lowell Lott and Richard O'Neal, heard about sit-in protests going on at the Woolworth's lunch counter in downtown Greensboro. They left their social studies class and went downtown to observe the protest, and eventually they joined the African-American North Carolina A&T State University students in their protest. By doing so, they became three of only a few white students supporting the movement. After graduating from Greensboro College, Bryant went on to earn a JD from the University of Richmond.
