Friday Interview: Home Rule and Black Disenfranchisement
RALEIGH — The rules governing North Carolina elections still show signs of the state’s history, a history in which black voters were denied the right to vote for decades after the official end of slavery. Lee Craig, Alumni Distinguished Professor of Economics at North Carolina State University, lectured on the topic “Home Rule and the Disenfranchisement of African-American Voters in North Carolina” for the John Locke Foundation’s Shaftesbury Society earlier this year. Craig discussed themes from that presentation with Mitch Kokai for Carolina Journal Radio.
