Ginkgo Residential Speaker Series: World War One and Its Impact in North Carolina
In 1917, when the United States intervened in the Great War, North Carolinians across the Tarheel State rushed to contribute “their bit” to America’s domestic mobilization. Heather Perry, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Department of History, will explore that homefront mobilization, and the rippling impacts it left behind in the next Ginkgo Residential lecture series, "World War One and Its Impact in North Carolina." The event is presented by the Capitalism Studies Program. From military training and school gardens to the nation’s only internment station for German 'enemy aliens,' this talk examines how the First World War helped transition North Carolina from the ‘Old North State’ into the ‘New South.’ ┃capitalismstudies.charlotte.edu
