This week, Aaron welcomes Nicholas Graham and Cecelia Moore, the co-authors of “UNC A to Z: What Every Tar Heel Needs to Know About the First State University.” They’ve just completed a revised and expanded edition of the book, due out April 8, with updates focusing on UNC’s history since the first edition came out five years ago. (They know their stuff: Graham is UNC’s university archivist and Moore is the former university historian.) Graham and Moore discuss the book, what they learned from writing it, and their favorite spots on campus – from the ROTC building to Morehead Planetarium to the Forest Theater.
Visit UNCPress.org for more information on the book.
