Wilmington’s Forgotten Coup | Dallas News
Description
In 1898, Wilmington, North Carolina, was a thriving, integrated city—until white supremacists launched a violent coup that erased Black leadership, burned down the Black-owned Daily Record, and killed dozens, possibly hundreds.

Today, activists like Cedric Harrison are fighting to reclaim this forgotten history, insisting that truth is the first step toward justice and healing for descendants still grappling with the legacy of that night.
