Ethics Around the Table: Seth Kotch (UNC, American Studies), “The Case of Alvin Mansell”
January 24, 2023 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

Mansell’s case reveals the compromises at the extremities of the Jim Crow justice system in North Carolina and the south and the way in which preserving a racial order relied on creating and recreating a set of tolerable exceptions to intolerable acts of violence.
