Moral Mondays are protests by citizens in response to several actions in 2013 by the North Carolina General Assembly, which is controlled by the Republican Party. Protesters engage in civil disobedience by carrying signs, failing to disburse when ordered, entering the state legislature building, and then being peacefully arrested. Arrests currently total 940, and all cases must be heard by two appointed judges. Reavis, 68, a former newspaper and magazine reporter and now an English professor at NC State University, recounts his court appearance.
