ACS - Professor Gene Nichol: Now What? How North Carolina Can Blaze a Progressive Path Forward

University of North Carolina School of Law, Chapel Hill, NORTH CAROLINA

Professor Gene Nichol will be presenting his new book Now What? How North Carolina Can Blaze a Progressive Path Forward. In this book, Nichol examines the outcomes of the 2024 election, in which North Carolina elected a Democratic governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general. Despite this, North Carolina was the stronghold for President Trump, leaving North Carolina progressives looking for inspiration and a new direction. With excess political energy and no outlet, Nichol addresses those who want to continue forward, knowing the state of politics in North Carolina and the country.
