Abstract:
"On June 30, 2023, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper signed the repeal of "Blackbeard's Law," which had controversially placed videos and images taken of North Carolina shipwrecks in the public domain. Prior to the governor's signature, the General Assembly of North Carolina unanimously passed the measure, which was among numerous items related to North Carolina's Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) as part of House Bill 168. More specifically, some believe that the repeal measure was intentionally submerged at page 11 of a 24 page bill." In 2017, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina ruled Blackbeard's Law unconstitutional.

Abstract:
William W. Holden is not viewed well in North Carolina history as characterized by mainstream defenders of the “Old South”. In this article, Wade Harrison tells the other side of the story with equally convincing support of a leader and others tirelessly involved in in doing the best for their community and state and yet brutally attacked without provocation to satisfy those fearful of the demise of white supremacy. The lynching of William Outlaw, a highly respected African American in Graham and the resulting martial law declared under George Washington Kirk by then Governor Holden are the basis of this story.
