Research Triangle Park, N.C.  Current National Humanities Center Fellow Glenda Gilmore, Yale University, and former Fellow Tim Tyson of Duke University will appear on North Carolina public radio’s popular program "The State of Things" with Frank Stasio on Tuesday, November 14th. They will be discussing the history of Jim Crow in the South and the struggle for civil rights, focusing specifically on the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898.

Both Dr. Gilmore’s recent book Gender and Jim Crow: Women and the Politics of White Supremacy in North Carolina and Dr. Tyson’s Democracy Betrayed: The Wilmington Race Riot of 1898 and Its Legacy deal with the Wilmington racial massacre which marked the political turning point from Reconstruction to Jim Crow across the state.

"The State of Things" is broadcast live at noon weekdays on WUNC. To listen to the program via the web or download a podcast, visit WUNC's The State of Things (www.wunc.org/tsot/).
