THE STORY OF JOHN H. MERRICK AND THE LARGEST BLACK LIFE Become a member. Merrick is best known as one of the leading co-founders of North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company in Durham, the largest and one of the first Black-owned insurance companies in the United States. He died 100 years ago this year, on August 6, 1919. The founding of NC Mutual in 1898 filled a huge gap. WHY NORTH CAROLINA KEEPS MANY PAROLE-ELIGIBLE PRISONERS After North Carolina reinstated the death penalty in 1976, there were 14 overturned sentences that resulted in life with parole before one execution occurred. Of these people, four were paroled by 2000. The most recent example, James McDowell, was sentenced to death in 1988, resentenced to life with parole in 1991, and paroled in 2018. BALLAD OF A LAND MAN: KENTUCKY THEATRE TAKES ON FRACKING For creator Bob Martin and producer Carrie Brunk, Ezell is an outgrowth of both a passion for locally-engaged theater and their community's efforts to resist the expansion of fossil fuel extraction.

She is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of English at Wake Forest University. Posted in Arts & Soul. GROWING UP QUEER IN APPALACHIA We were obsessed with androgyny, or unable to imagine ourselves growing up. Sometimes we were just acutely alienated, for seemingly no reason. We were vulnerable, and that made us angry. This, at least, hasn't changed. Each of us started out in a vacuum, finding clues only by serendipity: talk shows, offhand comments from parents or teachers. THE FAILURE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY The Democratic National Convention failed. They failed to meet the racialized challenges of a modern presidential election. They had too much faith in White voters, took voters of color for granted, and it cost them the election. And it started early with the backing of Hillary Clinton at all. Clinton's credentials aside (she is certainlyRAISED ON JUSTICE

IN ALAMANCE COUNTY, A BATTLE FOR RACIAL JUSTICE CONFRONTS A BLOODY PAST AND AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE As racial justice demonstrations erupted in large cities last year, a new awareness reached smaller towns across the country. For many in Graham, located in central North Carolina's Alamance County, the movement brought to light the long history of violence in a town where protesting is now restricted and the fight for the removal of a Confederate monument created a salient battlefield in the national conflict over race, police and power. by Carli Brosseau, ProPublica HOW DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA, BECAME THE FIRST US CITY TO BAN POLICE EXCHANGES WITH ISRAEL A successful North Carolina campaign in solidarity with Palestine adds to a Southern legacy dating back to the Civil Rights Movement.by Zaina Alsous
