Clippings, 1933-1959

Scope and content:

The photocopied clippings in this series offer many details on Jesse Epperson's career with the Durham, N.C. Health Department, including his leadership in campaigns to eliminate tuberculosis, typhus, polio, venereal disease (VD), and other infectious diseases, as well as the regulation of dairy production in the county. The clippings thus provide some insights into the history of Durham, N.C. public health and sanitation programs, and public attitudes towards health and safety.
