Event Details

In a Southern state with a long history of racial violence, it’s past time to accept that we’re not always the “beacon of progress” we wish to be, UNC professor and legal scholar Gene Nichol writes in his newest book. But there’s still a place for optimism, even if it’s now a rare commodity, he writes on the same page. 

Join the conversation about North Carolina's future and help to answer the question, Now What?

Gene Nichol will be in conversation with Paris Miller-Foushee, Graig Meyer, and David Graham, a staff writer at The Atlantic and author of The Project: How Project 2025 Is Reshaping America.

This program presented in collaboration with the Orange County Community Remembrance Coalition.
