My research centers on the history of North Carolina, with most of my writing devoted to the state's educational history and the evolution of race relations in the Old North State.

Please enjoy my first book about a small neighborhood in Raleigh--Caraleigh--that has had a significant impact on Raleigh's development. In Caraleigh's history, the origins of Raleigh’s north-south divide can be seen in many economic, psychological, social and political perils. While the Downtown South project promises a bright future for Raleigh in 2020, a close examination of the city’s economic and social stratification in the past reveals the city’s unequal economic and social stratification, resulting in an affluent north Raleigh and a pauperized “south Raleigh ghetto.” This work illuminates previously unrecognized aspects of Raleigh’s history, namely how an outskirt neighborhood shaped the city’s expansion during the twentieth century.
