## Resource

This week on Tying it Together, host Tim Boyum talks with UNC law professor Gene Nichol who recently released a book called "Now what? How North Carolina Can Blace a Progressive Path Forward." Nichol, famous for his focus on poverty and equality, discusses how football recruiting shaped his political views. He also recounts his battles with Republican legislative leaders, the closing of his poverty center, and the seemingly constant redistricting battles.
