Description
Thousands of soccer fans gathered in Chapel Hill this week to see Mexico playTurkey. It was an exciting match-up, but there was also concern about events like this with a backdrop of immigration raids.
Twenty years after a groundbreaking book on the Ocracoke Brogue accent, the authors worked with a fourth-generation Ocracoke resident to take an even deeper dive into the culture and evolution of the "Ocracoke Brogue."
