UNC near to picking book for program (Durham Herald Sun)

CHAPEL HILL — A campus committee is leaning toward a book on a southern racial uprising for use as UNC’s 2005 summer reading program text.

A nine-member committee is expected to select “Blood Done Sign My Name: A True Story,” by Timothy Tyson. Tyson, a professor of Afro-American Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, grew up in Oxford, in Granville County.
