Emancipate NC

If you’re driving on U.S. Highway 17, close to the line dividing Bertie and Chowan counties, a new billboard might catch your eye. It reads: “Welcome to Edenton. We Apologize for the Confederate Statue. We’re Working on It.”

The 23-foot statue of a Confederate soldier was erected in 1902 and includes the inscription that it was dedicated "in appreciation of our faithful slaves."

Raleigh police officer A.A. Smith fired two shots at Daniel Turcios, then about five seconds later, fired another three shots. That's according to a report from the Raleigh police department that was released by the city Wednesday.

Police reform advocates say a Raleigh police officer shot Daniel Turcios multiple times, including after he was lying on the ground following a vehicle crash last week.
