72: Duke Power

Dr. William Turner and the "Beloved" Contradiction

Dr. William Turner, a former pastor and Duke PhD, describes the "great contradiction" of being a "beloved" student at Duke while seeing black workers treated as "despised objects." He recalls the 1960s and 70s on campus, where white students received maid service from black women who were paid below minimum wage, highlighting the school's internal class and race tensions.
