What you can expect

In 1898, North Carolina's biracial, democratically elected government was overthrown by a violent coup d'état. The worst violence took place in the city of Wilmington, culminating in a horrific massacre of hundreds of citizens. It was the first and only time in American history when a coup successfully placed a government into power, and began a period of North Carolina history governed by oppression and racism.

Join a historian on a tour of the Wilmington Coup and Massacre. Explore this dark but important part of North Carolina history, visiting the homes of the most important perpetrators and victims, and travelling to the sites of important rallies, attacks, and speeches.

Learn about the economic and political context, origins, history, and legacy of this infamous attack, and how it led to the beginning of North Carolina's Jim Crow period.
