Summary
"In 1898, the newly-elected mixed-race government of Wilmington, North Carolina was overthrown by white supremacists. Countless African Americans in the city were massacred, and much of what they had built was burned to the ground. Thus marks the only known coup d'etat in American history. Gary Lilley is ready to tell the story of what happened to his people."--Page [4] cover.
