Since August 2017, we have added ethnic and racial identities for individuals and families represented in collections. To determine identity, we rely on self-identification; other information supplied to the repository by collection creators or sources; public records, press accounts, and secondary sources; and contextual information in the collection materials. Omissions of ethnic and racial identities in finding aids created or updated after August 2017 are an indication of insufficient information to make an educated guess or an individual's preference for identity information to be excluded from description. When we have misidentified, please let us know at wilsonlibrary@unc.edu.
Processing Note: In the boxes that are open to researchers, Technical Services archivists have removed confidential educational and personnel records protected by federal and state laws and other materials containing personally identifying numbers (i.e. social security numbers). Materials removed include, but are not limited to, graded student assignments, student recommendation materials, tenure review packets, employment candidate portfolios, and other related employment application materials.

He is the Samuel DuBois Cook Professor of Public Policy, African and African American Studies, and Economics and the director of the Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity at Duke University.

Back to TopThe collection chiefly consists of professional correspondence and other professional papers, including writings, grant proposals, conference-related materials, and other papers relating to Darity's research, largely focused on the racial achievement gap; inequality by race, class, and ethnicity; and social and economic policy as they relate to race and ethnicity.
The addition of July 2009 is similar in content to earlier accessions to this collection.
