As Duke heads to Final Four, a complicated history of the storied program; a preview of this weekend's Dreamville music festival


Listen Later

The Duke men's basketball team plays in the Final Four this weekend and has its sights set on a possible sixth national championship. While the program’s success is clear, its history is complicated.

Javier Wallace, a postdoctoral associate at Duke University and a former college athlete, teaches a class at Duke called "Race, Sport & Education: Duke Men’s Basketball." The course delves into the story of CB Claiborne, Duke’s first Black athlete and basketball player, and uses the team's history to explore race in society and education. Wallace talks with co-host Jeff Tiberii about Claiborne's story, and also about how Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) and the transfer portal are — and are not — changing the opportunities available to college athletes.

Then, Raleigh’s major music festival Dreamville, put on by NC native J. Cole, makes the City of Oaks a party for one last weekend. Due South gets a preview of the festival, artists to watch for, and discusses the impact of Dreamville, as it celebrates its final run. And, a preview of WUNC's coverage of the festival on Instagram and online with Social Media Producer Josh Sullivan and Director of Community Partnerships and Events Kamaya Truitt.
