Abstract:
The third installment (see volumes XXXI and XXXII of this journal) in a series of articles concerning African Americans during the Civil War, the author focuses on how slave owning citizens of the state attempted to maintain the status quo through legislative and social means. Fear of slave uprisings prior to the Civil War had cast a more conservative grip on the state's slave population which, before 1835, benefited from more liberal agendas like voting rights and better education for African Americans. The author examines through newspaper accounts, legal documents, and personal correspondence how the suppression of African Americans during the war deepened as the slave holding population became more fearful of losing control.

Abstract:
The Fayetteville Observer was sold to a NY based company who owned nine other North Carolina newspapers. The latest sellout leaves only three locally owned and operated newspapers in the state. Such a trend leaves experts concerned about the future of already struggling journalism business.

Abstract:
Wilson’s article reflected on the court case arising from the New York Times’ chronicling the injustice against civil rights workers by the Montgomery police and the false perjury charge against Martin Luther King, Jr. in the spring of 1960. To convince readers that this injustice was not an isolated incident, or one related exclusively to Jim Crow culture, Wilson included in examples of course cases filed in the decades since New York Times v Sullivan. More information about this topic can be found in Wilson’s inclusion of two books about this landmark case: Make No Law: The Sullivan Case and First Amendment and New York Times v Sullivan: Civil Rights, Libel Law, and the Free Press.

Abstract:
The nationally recognized Civil Rights Movement was represented locally by events such as the 1957 sit-in at Durham’s Royal Ice Cream Company, led by the Rev. Douglas Moore, and the 1960 Woolworth sit-in led by a quartet of AT&T students. Protests such as these planted seeds of justice that, decades later, is bearing fruit for both blacks and whites.
