MSNBC’s ‘Hardball’ Comes to North Carolina Central University
HBCU serves as backdrop, as presidential contender faces tough questions
DURHAM, N.C.
North Carolina Central University basked in the national limelight earlier this month when political talk show host Chris Matthews brought his MSNBC’s “Hardball College Tour” to the campus. The live broadcast featured fast-talking Matthews’ tough questions to presidential contender Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., on war with Iraq, affirmative action, gun control and more.
NCCU Chancellor James Ammons said the entire campus was excited about the live national broadcast. He was delighted that NCCU was the first historically Black college or university to be chosen on the “Hardball College Tour.”
