SEASON 10 EPISODE 8: The Wilmington Massacre of 1898

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
