Yes, it’s a little early, but this week we are talking about Memorial Day.
The year 2024 marks the centennial of Raleigh’s observance of national Memorial Day. Oakwood Cemetery hosts the event every year and is the final resting place for seven former governors, five U.S. Senators, eight state Supreme Court Justices, and four Civil War generals.
This week, the authors of a new book on the topic join host Tim Boyum. The group shares a fascinating talk about the cemetery’s history and the incredible stories.
Later, they discuss the immense amount of N.C. State fans visiting former basketball coach Jim Valvano’s grave as the current team made its run through March Madness.
