In 1963, Governor Terry Sanford sealed his legacy by establishing a privately-funded effort to abolish poverty in North Carolina. The initiative was called the North Carolina Fund. It was heralded for forging public-private partnerships, and condemned for threatening the power structure of the Jim Crow South. Filmmaker Rebecca Cerese examines the history and legacy of the North Carolina Fund in her new documentary, “Change Comes Knocking—The Story of the NC Fund.” She and UNC-CH history professor Jim Leloudis join host Frank Stasio to talk about the film.
