Racist Roots Film Screening & Community Conversation

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 Ed Chapman, who was exonerated in 2008 after spending nearly 14 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.

Sponsored by the UNC Wrongful Convictions Club and Carolina Justice Initiative, this event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided.

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