The History of Insurrections
Broadcaster Karen Hunter does this really great weekly YouTube show with Dr. Greg Carr, head of the Africana Studies Department at Howard University. Every Saturday, they have a discussion about Black history. In November they discussed the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898, the violent overthrow of the North Carolina town’s biracial government by white supremacists, which is very reminiscent of the January 6 insurrection.
I was going to write a piece about this, but I think I will just place their discussion here for the full context instead.
