Today is "Meck Dec Day," a day that commemorates the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence on May 20, 1775. A date that is enshrined on the North Carolina state flag.
In this episode, we listen to a 2023 recording of Chief Justice Paul Newby explaining the significance of Meck Dec Day to an audience of law clerks and staff gathered in the Supreme Court of North Carolina’s law library.
In his remarks, Newby shares the context in which the Mecklenburg Declaration was signed, and the controversy over its authenticity.
