Let’s Plan a Racist Roots Event

Racist Roots is not a static report. Instead, it’s an evolving project and a community conversation. We want to bring the project directly to your group, and engage in dialogue about the ways that racism and the death penalty intersect — and what we can do about it.

Please contact us so we can get started on creating a virtual Racist Roots event that’s tailored to your group’s needs. Whether it’s part of a class or a training, a community meeting, or a church service, we’re happy to work with you.

Racist Roots is a project of the Center for Death Penalty Litigation, in collaboration with scholars, advocates, historians, artists, poets and people directly affected by the death penalty. It aims to place North Carolina’s modern death penalty within the context of 400 years of history and to expose its deep entanglement with the aims of white supremacy. This project is the result of more than a year of research, writing, and relationship building. Read about our sources. This project would not be possible without the generous support of many individuals and foundations.
