1. Wilmington's Lie
The Murderous Coup of 1898 and the Rise of White Supremacy
This book provides a detailed account of the 1898 Wilmington massacre, a pivotal yet often overlooked event in American history. It meticulously chronicles how a violent coup, led by white supremacists, overthrew the mixed-race government of Wilmington, North Carolina, marking a significant assault on African American rights during the post-Reconstruction era. Through rigorous research and compelling narrative, the work sheds light on the orchestrated campaign of racism and intimidation, detailing the tragic consequences for Wilmington's Black community and the lasting impact on American democracy. The book serves as a sobering reminder of the fragility of racial progress and the power of white supremacy in shaping the nation's history.
