For my second story on localization, I plan to ask people on Wake Forest’s campus about the 2020 Election. Specifically, I would like to focus on the Democratic Debate that happened on Wednesday, Feb 19th.

To relate what happened in Las Vegas, I would talk about the climate here at Wake in regards to the Founders Day apology from President Hatch and the recognition of black lives that were sold by the campus and its fundraisers.

During the debate, the candidates discussed how to pull African Americans out of the cycle of poverty (caused by enslavement). I am curious how Wake Forest sees a relation in our government and our school’s climate around the rest of America’s recognition of the past.

I want to interview Mellie Mesfin about her position on the subject since she is the University Student President. I would also like to talk to members of ARC to gain their opinion about the school and the country.
