What's next for Chapel Hill's Mediterranean Deli; 'Legacies of Lynching' confronts difficult NC history
Manage episode 468603379 series 3524329
The 'Legacies of Lynching' inaugural gathering will convene this weekend in Chapel Hill. Historian Blair LM Kelley and Bettie Murchison, co-chair of the Wake County Community Remembrance Coalition, join Leoneda Inge to dig deep into that legacy — for descendants, for communities, and for our collective understanding of our state's history.
Poet and spoken word performer Nick Courmon also joins the conversation to share the story of his cousin Percy Berry. Berry was lynched in Craven County in 1932. He is one of more than 4,400 Black people killed in racial terror lynchings between 1877 and 1950 who are remembered at the The National Memorial for Peace and Justice.
Then, Leoneda Inge talks with Jamil Kadoura about the 2023 fire that devastated Mediterranean Deli, his popular eatery with deep roots in the Chapel Hill community. He explains how the business survived since the fire, his plans for re-opening, and how he’s managed to continue providing support for others during this challenging time.
Editor's note: Mediterranean Deli is a financial supporter of WUNC.
