Each spring, High Point, North Carolina becomes the center of furniture design and manufacturing during the Spring Market. This year there was a twist – a looming tariff war.

Plus, how two students' lives have changed, a year after an Israel-Palestine protest.

Student activist Laura Saavedra Forero’s prestigious Morehead-Cain scholarship was suspended for a semester after she was charged with impeding traffic and resisting an officer at a pro-Palestinian protest. 

Brendan Rosenblum held an Israeli flag in protest when other protestors replaced the American flag at the center of campus with a Palestinian one, and he ended up in pro-Trump 2024 campaign materials, even though he planned to vote for a Democrat.
