The Cates Scholars are nine local high school students who have spent the summer researching Chapel Hill’s Black history, including interviews with longtime residents. (The program’s namesake is James Cates, a Black man who was killed by white supremacists on UNC’s campus in 1970.) Hodge is a Carrboro High School student and one of this year’s Cates Scholars; Davis is the co-director of the program.
