After 35 years, Neo-China, one of Durham's oldest Chinese restaurants, has closed its doors. The family-owned restaurant grappled with increasing inventory prices caused by the 145% tariff the U.S. imposed on Chinese goods in April. Since then, the trade war has de-escalated and a 90-day pause has been put on a tariff that was lowered to 30%.

Anyone who has spent a moment with 40-year-old Raj Bunnag knows that one does not simply spend a moment with him. Before one realizes it, he’s taken them down a history lesson-slash-rabbit hole of the pervasiveness of white supremacy in our political and cultural institutions. His art is very much a reflection of those rants — sprawling, gruesome, meticulously detailed black and white linocut prints that depict issues like racism, the war on drugs, and policing.

About six months ago, artist Kamakshi Duvvuru moved to Durham, a decision she made after several visits to the city in recent years and a desire to find a home in the South. As she adjusts to a new city, she said the NorthStar Church of the Arts has really helped her find community among creative individuals engaged in social justice and mutual aid efforts.

On the evening of April 28, the lobby of Green Hope High School in Cary filled with the hum and chatter of more than a dozen high school students. They served paper cups of chai, taped posters and artwork to a curved glass wall in the middle of the floor, and talked with adults excitedly about their project: Oral histories they recorded with Asian Americans in their community.

Editor's note: This Due South interview was recorded before recent tariff negotiations with China. The prices of imported goods are almost certain to go up, as tariffs from the U.S. take effect. While President Trump has instated a 90-day pause, it doesn’t apply to a 145% tariff on China. WUNC's Eli Chen has been following the local fallout, including at a family-owned Chinese restaurant that may have to close. GuestEli Chen, Digital Producer at WUNC

In NC, some activists have placed political signs in Spanish telling noncitizens they cannot vote at polling places across the state - an advocate says these signs are being used to scare Latino voters from the polls, reports @julianrberger @WFAE https://t.co/mVAo8Y3dYd
