10 years later, state law still complicates future of Confederate statues in North Carolina
SUMMARY: Ten years after a law complicating the removal of Confederate statues in North Carolina, the debate continues in Edenton, a coastal town. Unlike Virginia, where statues were removed following the 2020 racial justice protests, North Carolina’s legal barriers remain. A statue dedicated to Confederate soldiers has sparked ongoing protests. Supporters, like Rod Phillips and Michael Dean, argue it’s a monument honoring veterans, while opponents contend it represents racism. Their weekly protests have highlighted the deep divide in community perspectives on this controversial symbol of history, embodying a struggle between remembrance and the legacy of racial injustice.

While confederate monuments have been largely removed in Virginia, their futures remain far more uncertain across state lines in the Tar Heel State. Alex Littlehales has the story.

Neighbors waiting for water recovery fund answers
SUMMARY: Residents are expressing frustration over the lack of communication regarding the Water Recovery Fund. One woman, who applied for assistance but has received no response from the city, feels abandoned amid the water crisis. Despite confirming her application, she remains uncertain about her status, especially as she struggles to pay rent due to increased water costs. With a looming court date for eviction, she has reached out to several city officials but received no clear answers. Although the city recently acknowledged her case, many others share similar concerns about the process’s organization and transparency.
