Anna and Aaron discuss the first day of school, last weekend’s KKK rally in Hillsborough, and an ongoing state supreme court case involving six death-row inmates.
August 19 is the 400th anniversary of slavery in America; August 20 is the first anniversary of Silent Sam’s toppling. Also, Anna discusses an upcoming seminar on Reconstruction.
Discussing a disappointing Supreme Court ruling, Anna and Aaron establish a rule: you can be despondent and give up for five minutes, but then it’s time to get back to work.
