Due South

Royal Ice Cream sit-in activist honored; new burrowing dinosaur discovery; Southern Mixtape's songs of summer


Listen Later

In 1957, Virginia Williams made history as part of the Royal Ice Cream sit-in in Durham. Williams, now 87, was recently honored at the "Sweet Justice" ice cream social at NorthStar Church of the Arts. Co-host Leoneda Inge talks with Williams and several attendees inspired by Williams' activism.

Then, researchers at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and North Carolina State University have discovered a new dinosaur species that they believe lived at least some of their lives in underground burrows. Due South co-host Leoneda Inge talks with NC State researcher Haviv Avrahami about the discovery of the new species Fona herzogae. The fossil was found in Utah and can be seen on the 3rd floor of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.

And, Due South's Southern Mixtape is back with a curated list of summer-themed music from Southern artists. WUNC Music's Brian Burns joins co-hosts Leoneda Inge and Jeff Tiberii to discuss what qualifies a track as "the song of the summer" and what a Southern summer sounds like.
