97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro. Every Thursday morning, local historian Scott Washington joins 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck for “History Matters,” a look back at notable events and significant figures from this week in history, ranging from pioneers to writers to inventors to civil rights champions and more, locally, nationally, and beyond.
Click here to listen back to the full History Matters archive – and tune in to “This Morning with Aaron Keck” Thursday mornings at 8:30 on 97.9 The Hill to hear those conversations live.
This week, Scott and Aaron discuss historical leaders who were willing to go back to the drawing board and correct mistakes – like the developers of the Hubble telescope (which was blurry at first, thanks to a metric-conversion error) and the signers of a Confederate surrender at Durham’s Bennett Place in 1865. Also: John Wilkes Booth is captured and killed; South Africa holds an historic national election; Coretta Scott King is born in Alabama; and Edward R. Murrow is born in North Carolina.
