Wilmington 1898: The Only Successful Coup in US History

In this episode of Black America Chronicles, we uncover the Wilmington coup and massacre of 1898 in North Carolina, the only successful coup d’état in U.S. history, when an armed white supremacist mob overthrew a thriving, majority-Black, democratically elected Fusionist government. Through the lens of African American history and hidden Black history, this story reveals how a prosperous Black port city—with Black professionals, business owners, a powerful Black press led by Alex Manly’s Daily Record, and real Black political power—was deliberately targeted, burned, and violently purged to erase Black progress. The video connects this dark chapter to today’s racial wealth gap, voter suppression, and the ongoing struggle for Black power, Black heritage, and justice, reminding viewers that Black communities did not fail—they were attacked by a coordinated White Supremacy Campaign that reshaped laws, memory, and migration for generations.​
