Pardon vigil at NC Governor's mansion continues

NC NAACP President Rev. T. Anthony Spearman has been holding a 24-hour-a-day vigil across the street from the Executive Mansion, at 200 N. Blount St., Raleigh, since Sept. 22.


He is calling on Gov. Roy Cooper to issue a pardon for Dontae Sharp and immediate action on ALL pardons before the Governor. More than two years have passed since Sharpe, a Greenville, N.C., man who was incarcerated for 26 years for a crime he did not commit, has been exonerated and released from prison. An official pardon will allow him to seek compensation from the state for wrongful conviction.


NAACP members can:


Contact Governor Cooper by email Contact Governor Cooper | NC Gov. Cooper or phone: (919) 814-2000, asking him to agree to these demands.


Join “Freedom Fridays” every Friday at 5pm until an agreement is reached, with Rev. Spearman and supporters at 200 N. Blount Street.
