More than 100 people attended last weekend’s Citizen’s Constitutional Workshop in Morehead City. Michael Sanera, John Locke Foundation Director of Research and Local Government Studies, and North Carolina History Project Director Troy Kickler explained to the crowd “What the Founders and State Ratification Conventions Can Teach Us Today.” Freedom Newspapers covered the workshop, and NewsBusters.org’s “Sunday Open Thread” mentioned it. Meanwhile, Kickler discussed 19th-century Republican legislative history and the history of North Carolina Populists during an appearance with Chad Adams on WLTT Radio. The Mooresville Tribune and Statesville Record & Landmark covered Kickler’s recent speech to the local Stand Up North Carolina group. (Mooresville residents got some good lessons in North Carolina history Tuesday night. Troy Kickler, founding director of the North Carolina History Project and a professor at N.C. State University, offered insight into the Constitution and what role North Carolinians played in … its ratification.) The Richmond County Daily Journal also published Kickler’s recent column on the late U.S. Sen. Sam Ervin.
