Description

Carol Rhodes Sibley was a Berkeley community leader who sat on the Board of Education during the antiwar protests of the 1960s and the integration of local public schools. She grew up in Buffalo, New York and went on to attend Wellesley College, eventually securing a job with the Wellesley Alumnae Association after her graduation. Following her move to California, she was elected to the Berkeley Board of Education and began to strongly advocate for integrated schools, in addition to positioning herself as a point of communication for protesting university students. Beyond her work as a Board member, Sibley was involved in numerous civic organizations, including YWCA, California Association for Health and Welfare, United Crusade, and the Council of Social Planning. In this interview, Sibley discusses her education and career path, the school integration process, local politics in the 1960s, the antiwar protests, and her contributions to the Berkeley community. This interview is part of a group of interviews documenting volunteer leaders.
