Judge Alexander became the first African-American elected judge in North Carolina and only the second female African-American judge to be elected in the nation on 1 Judge Alexander often told persons appearing in her court that “‘the truth will set you free,’ a saying her father frequently employed to encourage her ‘to approach things with honesty and integrity.’” Interview by Anna Barbara Perez with Hon. Elreta Alexander Ralston, in Greensboro, N.C. (Feb. 18, 1993), 3-4. 2 Associate Justice, Supreme Court of North Carolina. Justice Timmons-Goodson began her judicial career in 1984 when Governor James B. Hunt appointed her a trial judge in the Twelfth Judicial District of North Carolina. She writes that “after more than twenty-five years in the judiciary of North Carolina, it is unlikely that I have twenty-five or even twelve years more to serve. This realization leaves me both immensely grateful for the privilege that I have been given by the people of North Carolina to serve as a judge, but also reflective. As I consider my service on the Supreme Court of North Carolina, I am mindful that some thirty years earlier, another African-American woman offered herself for service on North Carolina’s court of last resort.

  • The Colorblind Turn in Indian Country: Lumbee Indians, Civil Rights, and Tribal State Formation
    The Colorblind Turn in Indian Country: Lumbee Indians, Civil Rights, and Tribal State Formation by Harold Walker Elliott A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2019 Doctoral Committee: Professor Philip Deloria, Co-Chair, Harvard University Professor Matthew Lassiter, Co-Chair Associate Professor Matthew Countryman Professor Barbra Meek Professor Tiya Miles, Harvard University Harold Walker Elliott [email protected] ORCID iD 0000-0001-5387-3188 © Harold Walker Elliott 2019 DEDICATION To my father and mother, Hal and Lisa Elliott And for Lessie Sweatt McCloud, her ancestors, and her descendants ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the culmination of eight years of graduate study and nearly a decade of research, writing, and editing. The result is deeply imperfect. Its faults come from my many shortcomings as an author. For anything this project does accomplish, I owe credit to the many people who have helped me along the way. Completing this project would have been impossible without the love, support, and inspiration of my parents, Hal and Lisa Elliott. During my upbringing, they instilled the values that guided me through the moral choices that a project like this one entails. My mother and her family have always been the driving forces behind my research into Lumbee and American Indian history. My father, a reluctant physician, passed down his fondness for history and dream of writing it. In the many difficult moments over the past eight years, my parents steadied me with long hugs or reassuringly familiar, South Carolina-accented voices on the phone.

  • The American Review of Politics, Vol
    Back to Blue? Shifting Tides of Red and Blue and The Dole-Hagan Senate Race in North Carolina Jody C. Baumgartner, Peter L. Francia, Brad Lockerbie, and Jonathan S. Morris At the start of the 2008 election cycle, not many observers or analysts would have predicted that Senator Elizabeth Dole would lose her seat. Indeed, in their January 2008 analysis of U.S. Senate races, the non-partisan Cook Political Report rated Dole’s seat “solid Republican.” However, the dynamics in North Carolina began to change and Dole was on the long list of Republicans who had the potential to lose; by May the race had shifted to the “likely Republican” category, by the end of summer Dole’s seat was classified as “lean Republican,” and in the middle of the fall campaign it was judged as a “toss up.” This article explores the contest between Elizabeth Dole and Kay Hagan by tracing the factors that allowed this apparently “safe” Republican seat to be captured by Democrats in 2008. While we discuss a number of factors that help to explain Hagan’s victory, we suggest that a changing partisan electoral environment resulting from the immigra- tion of non-Southerners to the state not only favored this outcome, but may auger well for the Democratic Party in the future. In other words, a state that had shifted red during the past several decades may be reverting back to blue. Next, we outline the shifting electoral and demographic landscape in North Carolina and contrast the candidates. Then, we discuss the environ- mental factors arrayed against Dole in 2008, including the mood of the state, an economic crisis, the popularity of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in North Carolina, and a competitive Democratic primary that drew out a large number of newly registered Democrats.

    March 2, 2014 Comments welcome What’s Up with Education Policy in North Carolina? By Edward B. Fiske and Helen F. Ladd [email protected]; [email protected] Explanatory Note: The purpose of this document is to help people both outside and inside North Carolina understand what is currently happening to education policy in this state. The document is neither an academic paper nor an advocacy piece. Instead it is simply our best effort to describe and to put into context the significant policy changes affecting education in North Carolina. We write it as concerned citizens and hope it will be useful to others. We have taken care to be faithful to the facts as we understand them. Whenever possible, we have checked them against relevant documents and with knowledgeable people. We welcome corrections and comments. Please send them to [email protected] One of us, Helen Ladd, The Edgar Thomson Professor of Public Policy and professor of economics at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy, has published many empirical studies of education in North Carolina. The other, Edward Fiske, was the education editor of the New York Times during the 1970s and 1980s and is now an education writer and consultant. Together we have written books on education policy in New Zealand and in South Africa and articles on school finance in the Netherlands. In 2012, at the bequest of William Harrison, the then Chairman of the State Board of Education, we wrote a vision statement for public education in North Carolina. ----------------- Last year, in a seven-month frenzy of legislative hyper-activity, the Republican-controlled General Assembly of North Carolina, in concert with Republican Gov.
