IT'S HOSTED BY CHRIS LEE. KRISTEN INTERVIEWED CHRIS ABOUT THE PROJECT. &gt;&gt; I'M JOINED NOW WITH WRAL ANCHOR CHRIS LEE, HOST OF OUR BRAND NEW DOCUMENTARY GOES IN THE STADIUM. CHRIS, THIS IS FINALLY, YOU KNOW, GOING TO BE RELEASED, YOU KNOW, TO THE WORLD AFTER WE'VE WORKED ON THIS FOR MONTHS NOW, WANT TO START BY EXPLAINING, YOU KNOW WHY YOU STARTED EVEN LOOKING INTO, YOU KNOW, THE HISTORY OF THE STADIUM'S. I THINK THE ONE THAT REALLY STARTED OFFICE LAST YEAR, OCTOBER 1ST, WHAT WAS GOING ON THE CLEMSON WITH PAT WELTER TO COVER THIS BIG NORTH CAROLINA STATE AT CLEMSON GAME. AND AS I WAS GOING INTO THE STADIUM IN THE MEDIA ENTRANCE, LOOK TO MY RIGHT AND SEE THIS PLACARD THAT SAID THAT. &gt;&gt; THIS IS THE BURIAL GROUND, A FORMER ENSLAVED PEOPLE AND THERE WERE NO MARKINGS. AND SO WHEN I GOT INSIDE AND WANTED TO LOOK INTO IT A LITTLE BIT MORE AND SAW THE SCHOOL JUST PUBLICLY KNOWLEDGE. IT WAS THERE JUST A YEAR BEFORE THAT. SO I WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE. I FELT LIKE THIS NEEDED MORE THAN JUST A MINUTE AND 30 PACKAGE, RIGHT? YEAH, IT'S STUCK WITH YOU. AND THEN YOU STARTED LOOKING INTO THESE OTHER STADIUMS, RIGHT? YEAH. ALREADY KNEW ABOUT BANK OF AMERICA STADIUM BEEN COVERING THE PANTHERS FOR A WHILE HERE AND AT MY PREVIOUS JOB. SO I KNEW ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING THERE AND THEN I READ WILMINGTON'S LIE BY DAVID TURKEY. KNOW AND I KNEW A LITTLE BIT MORE FROM THAT BOOK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE AND KEENAN WHO KENAN MEMORIAL STADIUM WAS NAMED AFTER ORIGINALLY. AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT BEFORE. AND SO ONCE I KNEW ABOUT THOSE 3 STADIUMS. I HAD TO TALK TO HEATHER HERE, WHO'S YOU KNOW, RESIDENT HISTORIAN WITH THE DOZEN WRO HIDDEN HISTORY. AND THEN SHE TOLD ME ABOUT CARTER FINLEY STADIUM AND THAT'S A LITTLE FIGHT FOR ME THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING. THERE'S A DISCUSSION THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. DEFINITELY.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WALK AWAY WITH AFTER WATCHING &gt;&gt; AT THE END OF THE DAY, I WANT MORE DISCUSSIONS TO HAPPEN. WE'RE IN AN INTERESTING TIME RIGHT NOW IN OUR SOCIETY WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE RUNNING AWAY FROM HISTORY BECAUSE THERE ARE FREE TO FEEL BETTER TO MAKE OTHERS FEEL BAD. AND I THINK THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO KIND OF GO ABOUT THINGS RIGHT. LIKE WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT WE WEREN'T AROUND FOR WHAT HAPPENED BACK IN THE DAY. BUT WHAT HAPPENED HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO DOES IMPACT OUR COMMUNITIES. LOOK TODAY. AND SO WE COULD TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THAT, HOW IT IMPACTS DAY. MAYBE WE CAN MAKE A BETTER FUTURE FOR OUR KIDS. RIGHT? AND EVERY HISTORIAN, EVERY PROFESSOR WE INTERVIEWED SAID THE SAME THING. LET'S TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. IT HAPPENED. HOPE YOU ALL CAN WATCH GOES IN. THE STADIUM AIRS WEDNESDAY</p>

I'm meteorologist, Amy Wilm in the WRL severe weather center. Pretty nice weather today. A mix of sun and clouds with temperatures close to normal for this time of year. We reach 80 degrees in Raleigh and Durham, 79 in Rocky Mount. 81 for the high temperature in Fayetteville. If you want to have dinner outside this evening, it's going to be a lovely evening to do that at 7 p.m. We're in the mid seventies, mostly sunny skies, low seventies at 8 p.m. and then we're back down to the sixties by nine o'clock and certainly no rain in the forecast for today. For the next three days. The weather stays pretty quiet and the big story will be the warming of our temperatures 80 today, 84 Tuesday and then 88 for the high temperature on Wednesday. Once we get to the holiday weekend, that's when things turn unsettled and temperatures will drop a little bit. We have scattered storms in the forecast for Friday, especially Friday night. Saturday, scattered storms possible at any point in time, just a few spotty showers and storms Sunday and then we're back to some scattered storm chances on Monday, no day looks like a washout as of now. So keep checking back in and we'll have a better idea on the exact timing and amounts once we get to around Thursday or so, here's a look at Futurecast. This is for Thursday morning. It's a dry start to the day. But then Thursday night we have some scattered showers. So most of Thursday is dry. It's not until very late. We could see a few showers. Friday morning looks dry. Maybe you're hitting the road early on Friday for the long holiday weekend, it looks dry for most of the state. And then once we get to Friday evening, it's the western half of the state that has some storms for us. It'll be Friday night, an overnight Friday in early Saturday, we'll have a good opportunity for some rain and storms. Saturday morning, rain chances for us fairly slim and really across most of North Carolina rain, chances look pretty low Saturday morning. But then we get into the afternoon and evening, the peak heating and we'll have some scattered showers and thunderstorms. Sunday morning. We could have some rain along the North Carolina coast and then just some hit showers and storms across a good part of the state. But a lot of dry time as well. Monday for Memorial Day, we'll have some hit and miss showers and storms as well. So it's very quiet for the next few days with temperatures warming up. We're in the low nineties by Thursday and then temperatures back off a little bit over the weekend. But again, that does come with the potential for some scattered showers and storms.
