African American History | Wilmington Massacre in North Carolina | Black History

In this class, students will learn about the Wilmington Massacre, a tragic event that took place in 1898 in Wilmington, North Carolina. We will discuss the historical background, examine the causes and events, and explore the impact it had on racial tensions and civil rights.  We'll discuss the aftermath of the Reconstruction era, the rise of white supremacist ideologies, and the impact of these developments on African American communities. Students will gain insights into how a violent mob, fueled by racial hatred, overthrew the democratically elected interracial government in Wilmington and the profound consequences it.

This is a sensitive topic, however, the goal is to promote understanding, empathy, and historical awareness while addressing the significance of this historical event in shaping our society today.

Students will have an opportunity to share their thoughts and opinion, which sometimes can result in class going over a bit, i like to give each student a voice and space in the class to share what they think or to ask questions.
