Join us on April 7 for a film screening & discussi Join us on April 7 for a film screening & discussion about NC's death penalty 🎥

You're warmly invited to a screening of Racist Roots, a 25-minute film that uncovers the deep entanglement between white supremacy, racial terror lynching, and NC's death penalty. 

After the film, hear from Ed Chapman, who was exonerated in 2008 after spending nearly 14 years wrongfully convicted on NC'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 (@wccunc) and Carolina Justice Initiative, this event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided.
