UNC-Chapel Hill protests and aftermath through the eyes of student journalists; and a protest song Southern Mix Tape
Description
As college students wrap up their classes for the semester, pro-Palestinian demonstrations have sprung up on campuses across the country, dominating headlines and the public discourse. In Chapel Hill, 36 protesters at UNC were detained when they refused to leave a tent encampment on school grounds. Confrontations intensified Tuesday when demonstrators pulled down an American flag from a campus flagpole, replacing it with a Palestinian flag.
Two Daily Tar Heel editors, Liv Reilly and Lauren Rhodes, join Due South co-host Leoneda Inge and WUNC's education reporter Liz Schlemmer to talk about what happened on the UNC-CH campus on Tuesday.
Then, on an encore episode of Southern Mixtape, North Carolina State history professor Ajamu Dillahunt-Holloway talks about protest songs spanning the last several decades.
