## Resource

In 1898, Wilmington, North Carolina, was violently seized by white supremacists in a coup that erased Black political power and left dozens—or possibly hundreds—dead. Once a thriving, integrated city, it became a target for white elites who couldn’t tolerate progress. The attack began with the destruction of the city’s only Black newspaper, followed by a brutal mob assault on Black residents, armed with a machine gun and no accountability. No one was ever prosecuted; the massacre was falsely rewritten as a “race riot.” Today, descendants demand truth and justice, insisting that healing requires confronting this buried history.
