You are warmly invited to join us for a screening of Racist Roots, a 25-minute film that uncovers the deep entanglement between white supremacy, racial terror lynching, and North Carolina’s death penalty. Following the film, hear from Alfred Rivera, who was exonerated in 1999 after spending over 2 years wrongfully convicted on North Carolina’s death row. This conversation will be moderated by NCCADP’s executive director, Noel Nickle, and will include time for Q&A. Free and open to the public.

Racist Roots is a project of the Center for Death Penalty Litigation.
