Abstract | Buck Goldstein (1948-) is a white economics professor and entrepreneur in residence at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Collection materials are chiefly subject files and writings pertaining to his collegiate career and activities at UNC Chapel Hill in the late 1960s and his work and graduate education in the 1970s. Correspondence, newspaper clippings, ephemera such as flyers, and printed items comprise the subject files. These files document his application for classification as a conscientious objector to war on the basis of his Jewish faith; the 1969 "Moratorium" or boycott of classes in protest of the Vietnam War; the Experimental College hosted by Student Government; University of the Streets in Miami, Fla., which offered experiential learning opportunities, including "Black History" and "Dialogue on Race Relations," to under-served youth; Yale University's Urban Internship Program; and Switchboard, a youth service center Goldstein and his wife, Kay Goldstein, ran in Chapel Hill, N.C. Switchboard in part served as a crisis center for drug addicted youths, particularly heroin addicts and those who had suffered a bad "trip" from hallucinogens. Most writings are his student papers from graduate school, but also included are drafts of creative pieces he wrote. Also included are letters from Bill Friday and Dean Smith and a few pictures depicting Buck and Kay Goldstein in the 1970s. |

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.
