SEASON 10 EPISODE 8: The Wilmington Massacre of 1898
Description
Let's sip and drink an Italian red wine while learning and discussing The Wilmington Massacre of 1898. It was a devastating event in U.S. history, where a white supremacist mob overthrew the elected Black government in Wilmington, North Carolina. On November 10, 1898, a violent coup led to the killing of dozens of Black residents, the displacement of hundreds, and the dismantling of the city’s thriving Black community. This attack marked the only successful coup d'état in U.S. history and remains a pivotal moment in the struggle for racial justice. Remembering this tragedy is crucial to understanding the lasting impact of white supremacy and the fight for equality. #WilmingtonMassacre #BlackHistory #NeverForget
