Wilmington Riot
WILMINGTON RIOT
WILMINGTON RIOT. On 9 November 1898 a mass meeting of whites was held at Wilmington, North Carolina, to protest black rule; most of the city offices were held by blacks, who outnumbered the whites seventeen thousand to eight thousand. The group demanded that the editor of the African American newspaper remove himself and his press by the next morning. When this demand was not met, six hundred armed whites destroyed the printing material and burned the building. In the ensuing riot some ten blacks were killed and three whites wounded. All of the city officials resigned and were succeeded by white Democrats.
