TẬP TRƯỚC

World Leader Pretend

Johnston County is named for one man and defined by another. This episode unpacks two Johnstons, one Civil War surrender, and the difference between loyalty and pretending.

Coward of the County

History books and courthouse lawns tell a simple story of the Civil War: blue versus gray, with honor tied strictly to the battlefield. But in Johnston County, the reality was far more complicated. North Carolina led the Confederacy in desertions, driven by a quiet resistance of men who decided &qu…

Will the Circle Be Unbroken

Along Highway 210 in Johnston County, a forgotten cemetery tells a story of slavery, family, and memory. This episode follows Adam Sanders, who bought the land where his ancestors were buried and made sure the circle stayed unbroken.

The federal quota system provided a vital safety net until 2004, when the government offered a buyout that forced every farming family into a midnight, kitchen-table decision. This epis…

How to Save a Life

There is a bronze soldier standing on the courthouse lawn in Smithfield. He has been there since 1926. He stands at parade rest — chin up, eyes forward — with the posture of a man who doesn't yet know what's waiting for him. On the stone beneath his feet: forty-seven names. Buck Hill. Pearlie H. Ha…

A Change Gonna Come

There is a ledger in the North Carolina State Archives. Bound in leather. Column after column of names. It is titled Johnston County Permanent Registration of Voters, 1902 to 1908. Every name in it is white. That was the point. Smith Brooks had sat on the Smithfield Board of Commissioners. Mack Sow…
