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.

The author of this article is noted as a professor with North Carolina A & T University and Director of the Afro-American History Project.
