History as a Warning: Indie Bookstore Day Panel

Local Stories of Resistance & Reckoning

Local author Herb Frazier and North Carolina political historian Randall Fleming discuss the power of history to illuminate, unsettle, and inspire. What can the south's past teach us about where we’re headed and what we refuse to repeat.

From buried narratives to bold acts of defiance, this panel explores how history can illuminate what’s been hidden, unsettle what we thought we knew, and inspire what comes next. This will be a dynamic, unfiltered conversation on Southern history and its modern-day implications, spanning from Jim Crow to our post J-6 world, with reflections on storytelling as a tool for resistance and remembrance.
