Exposing the 1898 Wilmington Coup: The Dark History of Black Voter Suppression

*Video Description:* Step into one of the darkest and most hidden chapters of American history—the Wilmington Coup of 1898. This compelling historical documentary uncovers the true story of how a thriving, Black-led government in Wilmington, North Carolina was violently overthrown in the only successful coup d'état ever carried out on U.S. soil. Through powerful storytelling, vivid historical detail, and eye-opening analysis, this video explores how white supremacists used propaganda, political manipulation, and brutal violence to suppress Black political power and strip African Americans of their right to vote. Far from a “race riot,” the events of November 10, 1898, were a premeditated act of domestic terrorism that reshaped the South and laid the foundation for the Jim Crow era. Discover the heroic rise of the Black middle class in post-Reconstruction Wilmington, the tragic burning of the *Daily Record*, and the chilling legacy of racial disenfranchisement that followed. This video is not only a history lesson—it’s a reckoning with America’s past and a reflection on the ongoing struggle for racial justice and democracy today. *Watch now to understand the truth they never taught you in school.* --- *References:* Gilmore, Glenda Elizabeth. *Gender and Jim Crow: Women and the Politics of White Supremacy in North Carolina, 1896–1920*.
