THE DAILY TARHEEL — The Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a virtual event on Monday morning, which premiered on its YouTube channel. The virtual celebration featured prerecorded videos of the UNC Gospel Choir, an interview with School of Law professor and Center for Civil Rights Director Theodore M. Shaw, a poem by speaker Soteria Shepperson and more. Rev. Clarke French, fifth rector of the Church of the Holy Family, helped organize the virtual event through the Religious Affairs Committee of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP. French also conducted the interview with Shaw. “Each year, we’re charged with coming up with a program on MLK Day,” he said. “It was a really fun project to bring everyone together. We all recorded at different times, and the service was edited together.” During a career spanning nearly three decades as a lawyer, Shaw litigated cases on education, housing, capital punishment and voting rights. From 1979 to 1982, he litigated civil rights cases throughout the country at various levels, including in the U.S. Supreme Court, as an attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice.
