Levering and Blodgett
Jan Blodgett and Ralph Levering, authors of the new Davidson history book “One Town, Many Voices,” are scheduled to be interviewed Thursday at 9 a.m. on “Charlotte Talks” on public radio station WFAE, 90.7 FM, in Charlotte. (The program also airs Thursday night at 9 p.m.)
“Charlotte Talks” says the authors “have compiled written history and personal accounts from citizens to create a new book that tells the story about Davidson, and they join us to talk about the history and why their book is just the start of a wider community conversation.”
Davidson Historical Society is publishing the book this month.
Ms. Blodgett is the archivist at Davidson College. She first conceived of the book about 15 years ago while participating in an interracial community-building effort called Common Ground. Professor Levering, the Vail Professor of History at Davidson College, joined the project a couple of years ago, believing that it was time for a new history of town.
