Charlotte Talks

Almost 300 years ago, Blackbeard the Pirate ran aground off the coast of North Carolina and, to this day, treasure hunters believe there is a rich trove of pirate's booty hidden somewhere in the state. Historian and author Kevin Duffus believes he has found Blackbeard's treasure, but it's not the form of riches you might imagine and you won't find it in history books. Duffus will join us to paint a detailed picture of Blackbeard's impact on the state, the real treasure he sought and a glimpse into a pirate's life that may surprise you. Blackbeard's real treasure revealed, when Charlotte Talks.

The GI Bill was created to give soldiers a way to go to college cost-free after they finished their service. But a cost-cutting change to the benefit may mean a big tuition bill for some vets. It now only covers in-state tuition, a problem for some returning soldiers who spent years bouncing from base to deployment without establishing residency anywhere. Some North Carolina veterans say the UNC system makes it even harder for them to qualify and now they’re suing.GuestsCharles Sanchez - Veterans Service Officer, District 13, North Carolina Division of Veterans Affairs.U.S. Army Sgt. Hayleigh Perez - U.S. Army Veteran, served 14 months in Iraq. She was denied in-state residency status by UNC Pembroke and recently filed a federal lawsuit against the UNC system over in-state tuition.Sgt.
