Wilmingtons Lie by David Zucchino is a deeply researched and harrowing account of the violent coup that took place in Wilmington, North Carolina, in 1898. The book examines how a thriving, multiracial democracy was systematically dismantled by white supremacists who sought to regain political control through fear, propaganda, and brutal violence. What began as a coordinated campaign of misinformation and intimidation culminated in an armed overthrow of the citys government, the massacre of Black citizens, and the forced exile of political leaders. Zucchino exposes the widespread efforts to erase this event from history and explores its lasting impact on racial injustice in America. Through meticulous research and powerful storytelling, Wilmingtons Lie sheds light on one of the darkest chapters in American history, challenging readers to confront the realities of systemic racism and the ongoing struggle for civil rights.
