Did you know that in the late 1800s, in the South, most Blacks were Republican? They held office in one of the biggest cities in North Carolina. When did it all end?
Wilmington, North Carolina was a majority-Black, racially-integrated, prosperous city controlled by Republican Black Men & Women who were legitimately elected into office. These Black people covered almost every position in government in the city and even prominent office up to the state level. Until one day in 1898, when the town was overthrown by a Coup D'etat of 2000 Democratic White Supremacists.
How did it all start? What happened to cause this? How is it affecting us to this day?
