More than forty years ago, a small group of protesters set out for Raleigh to present a petition to the governor of North Carolina asking to reduce the prison sentences of a group known around the state, nation, and world as the Wilmington Ten.
Special thanks to the Biomuseo, a Smithsonian Affiliate in Panama, for this guest post.
