About this listen

On this show, we reflect on the 160th anniversary of Emancipation Day, its historical context, and its lasting legacy for North Carolina and the nation with our guests, Congressman G.K. Butterfield, a former U.S. Representative for North Carolina’s First Congressional District, a retired Superior Court judge and former NC State Supreme Court Justice, and a lifelong student of North Carolina and American history, and Attorney James Williams, the former Chief Public Defender for Orange and Chatham Counties, a longtime advocate for racial equity, and one of the state’s most respected voices on social justice and reform in North Carolina.
