About the Event
In 1917, when the United States entered the Great War, North Carolinians across the Tarheel State rushed to contribute “their bit” to America’s domestic mobilization. Dr. Heather Perry will explore that home-front mobilization, and the rippling impacts it left behind. From military training and school gardens to the nation’s only internment station for German “enemy aliens,” this presentation will examine how the First World War helped transition North Carolina from the “Old North State” into the “New South.”
