Correction at 7:23: Cynthia's ancestors lived in Wilmington, not her descendants.
In November 1898, in Wilmington, North Carolina, a mob of 2,000 white men expelled black and white political leaders, destroyed the property of the city’s black residents, and killed dozens--if not hundreds--of people. How did such a turn of events change the course of the city? For decades, the story of this violence was buried, while the perpetrators were cast as heroes. Yet its impacts resonate across the state to this day.
In the new Vox series Missing Chapter, Vox Senior Producer Ranjani Chakraborty revisits underreported and often overlooked moments from the past to give context to the present. Join her as she covers the histories that are often left out of our textbooks.

Paleeeeeze make an episode about this false notion of "The Browning of America". America was brown by millions of natives for thousands of years before any white Europeans arrived and pushed out the Natives.
7:20: "Cynthia Brown, whose descendants were in Wilmington back in 1898..."
I think you meant to say "ancestors" in the place of "descendants." Cynthia Brown is a descendant of the people who were in Wilmington in 1898. Those people themselves were her ancestors.

"What we don't usually find in American history: the violent overthrow of a democratically elected government." I mean, South America would like a word with you. American interference is very much part of American history.
This is why they love to say "stop living in the past" cause thats where the answers are.
Oh, I *LOVE* your comment! May I please borrow it?
Exactly.
Preach!
🤦♂️
Yep
The idea that you couldn’t look this up in the library is extra disturbing
Look up the lemba and igbo jewish tribes in africa... Prepare to be shocked again
Its really not
@@jayyi5064 why? because the library hid this as a secret to spreak knowledge of the past almost no one in American knows about personally i agree with Lynne
I learned about this in 99 in college but I went to a HBCU, so it is disturbing that they couldn’t find info on it.
@@Ctg507 she's not ready lol
As a student of the NC school system, this was never ONCE talked about! I graduated in 2019. The first time I ever heard about this was in my third year of college.
Same here. I lived the first 22 years of my life in NC and never knew about it.
Right 🤦🏾♂️🙏🏾
Yeah same reason why the media calls blacks 'youths, scholars' when ever they are committing a crime.

This is why America doesn't teach the real American history.
That's right Morris. We have a HORRIBLE history. Some things will literally scare the s*** out of anyone.
Yep
right, because the democrats would have a tough time getting the colored vote if they knew the truth
@@Anthony-zc2lm They literally switched parties.
The worst part is that this isn't even one of the worst things the US has done
We've been taught Amerian mythology in public schools, not American history.
Partly due to the Daughters of the Confederacy, who wrote a lot of the Southern state histories and instructed school boards how to select or reject history books for the children.
We weren't taught history, we were taught Mcgraw Hill
@@12Gates. That isn't unique to the USA. Most countries teach the youngest children the national myths first, "our glorious history," and never make it clear that it's on a par with Santa Claus.
@Faithless Hound yep, almost every nation has some version of this.
Japanese people don't properly learn about WW2 until either high school or college level depending on their high school textbooks, at least partly because a Japanese right-wing group is trying to push revisionism through some of those textbooks. This, combined with tensions with North Korea spilling over as racial tensions against Koreans in general, makes it very tough for South Korea and Japan to get along despite their cultural similarities and what they stand to gain from unity. This also harms relations to some degree with Taiwan, as while the hatred isn't quite as strong, there's uneasiness with the idea of Japan having military independence from the United States.
To be fair, the Chinese and North Korean governments would NOT be okay with South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan getting along and likely do what they can to interfere, as they all have extremely developed economies and strong military drives:
South Korea has a relatively nationalistic populace (I'd know, my mom is one and can be a bit fanatical) and mandatory military service to deal with North Korea,
Taiwan has the ever-present threat and influence of China to keep them alert,
and so much of ancient Japanese culture revolves around the military, whether it be Shogunates, the samurai subculture, or even Western-style colonialism in the 1800's that it'd be all too easy for a party to make a historical push.
If they all got along as economic and, most importantly, *military* allies, that could be an Asian NATO, and that'd be real bad for China and North Korea.
It's like that everywhere
It’s so hard knowing that this happened in my home town, I have probably walked near that plot of land multiple time and never knew, I am horrified that we were never taught this stuff
This is absolutely appalling-
Unfortunately it’s also not surprising, and once again I’m disappointed in my schooling for not having learned about this until the age of 35… Thank you VOX
The average Black person won't know these facts about American history unless they do their own research or go to college and take African American Studies. Now CZcams is the bridge between the two.

@@kipwonder2233 yes, apparently! It was on FULL SHOWCASE for the world to see on 1/6/21.

Growing up in Wilmington, NC, we were taught nothing but a “race riot.” Good summary of an insurrection filled with a lot of detail.
As they say:" There is nothing new under the sun."
If you think the violent overthrow of democratically elected governments is something rare in US history, I have some news for you about our foreign policy...
True. But I think she meant on US soil
@@neonwallacewells7818 well then they should have said that because otherwise they're doing the same type historical erasure they criticise in the video. It would have been great if they said "events like US backed coup in Chile have become increasingly discussed in the US, but even on american soil there is a history of the violent overthrow of democratically elected governments"
I think they were talking about US domestic history, not in terms of the history of US foreign policy.
Kropotkin was smart. Be like Kropotkin
RIP Chilean president Alined.
The more I learn about U.S. history, the more I understand how things affected African Americans in a negative way.
The more i learn that i was taught lies in school... and so are my kids!
....Its still all around us today.....
They took over our government in the 1900 cause in 1890 our people still rude all this took place in 1919 that’s a fact
Exactly
We arent African though. Dig in thr national Archives and the Library of Congress. Plenty of records to show who's Indigenous to THIS land. Do a genealogy search BY RECORDS not DNA which cant prove a thing.
I grew up in Burgaw NC which is right down the road from Wilmington. And let me tell you. We did NOT LEARN about 1898. It was buried history and I’m happy it has been unburied!!!!
Yes, this is an American atrocity that was swept under the rug !
They really don’t lie when they said history repeats itself
When you study history you will learn that African Americans were moving very fast after slavery as far as education, land ownership and opening business being elected into office. It’s really amazing considering the circumstances. Racial violence slowed a lot of that down.
What slowed it down the most was the intentional breakdown of the family by the interjection of welfare and feminism into the black communities. Nothing is quite as destructive as the phrase "I don't need no man" in regards to raising a family. What annoys me is the democrats and progressives keep trying to propagate the big switch hoax in an attempt to push their crimes onto the republicans.
@bro9650 I do agree with jim crow being the other main issue but the interjection of welfare and feminism is what kept the black communities to slide backwards. BTW the southern strategy is a hoax with plenty of evidence that the voter switch didn't actually happen the way the democrats wish it did.
@@vagabondwastrel2361 if you are saying that the Southern Strategy is a hoax is ridiculous. Lee Atwater the Republican strategist darling is on tape explaining the Southern Startegy. If you can't even acknowledge the man that created it explaining the strategy in plain daylight on tape I can see that you are not trying to get to the truth you are just lying to make the Republican party look good.
the welfare and breakdown of family after _reconstruction_ ? Resorting to violence and mob rule in a democracy (and after they had lost the war 30 years ago). They could not hold the black people back on the merit so the militias enacted a dictatorship (and it is not like the federal government would have stood up for the constitution and the rule of law).
@@jackdamenace13, That same jealousy that perpetrated on Black Wall Street and In Wilmington, NC will be the same jealousy that will try to stop progress on reparations owed to black Americans. I mean go to every video or comment sections on articles about reparations. There is already racism speaking out against it.
We live in a time where they can't hide history anymore 😂 and I love it.
@The Black Order Not really...
America doesn't hide history--America liberates it.
@The Black Order How am I lying? I am a proud American and care about transparency, even if it doesn't reflect well. Personal liberty is an American ideal and that is why hundreds of thousands of proper patriots gave their lives to free the slaves. Why don't liberals ever give thanks to the heroes of history and only take the time to hate somebody?
@The Black Order The slaves had their own reasons for opposing slavery (obviously) but plenty of free ABOLITIONISTS lost their lives for the idea that slaves would be free. Not every Republican is Abe Lincoln ;)
@@tylerdurden4392 Whoa! You seem to have a strange view of the world here. "Liberals" BUILT the USA - the constitution itself is an exceptionally "liberal" or "left-leaning" document for its time - when rule by nobility (ie, the rich and powerful.....) was widely accepted as the way society "should" work, and workers and poor people in general had very few rights at all. // Further, which "heroes of history" are being neglected? Please tell us, because it seems to me that most folks these days on either side of the political spectrum, have the same idea of "heros".. for example Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, Churchill, Roosevelt during wwii, Martin Luther, etc. Please: tell us what you are complaining about here: i sincerely wish to know.

Defunding police had nothing to do with it?

And should
@@juliusraben3526 defunding the police is mainly to do with reallocating parts of the high amount of the money that the police have received in the past into social services and safeguarding services that help foster a healthy community instead of brutalising and terrorising it. A simple google search would've told you that, a simple google search would've also told you how the treatment of BLM protesters in the summer starkly contrasts the treatment of ppl who stormed a federal building meaning they DO have the resources (or 'funds' as you rudimently put it) to stop those terrorists
@@fedup4190 read your message again. You are kind of disproving your point xD and what part do I get wrong that google couldve told me?
But also to you, how did defunding (or allocating resources to other places) the police leads to a better ability to stop, lets say, stop people from taking over the capitol?
And no wonder BLM got more police. They wernt defunded back then so they had more capability. You dont need a google search to come to that conclusion isnt it? And thats the part were you disprove yourself... if only google had all the answers, you couldve googled that these things can happen when you take resources away from the institutions that should safe guard society.
But terrorize communities... like those riots over the summer?

it is
The truth is if African Americans knew the history of this country, they would have to fight against their hatred to move forward and most white people woul be ashamed at what they learn. There is a reason they don't want blacks to know their own history. It makes them more than thugs and welfare queens.
And they are doing it again most people would literally be surprised how many times this has happened throughout the history of the United States. The tactics have changed very little but the intended outcome is exactly the same so I guess it’s true we don’t learn from history.
Great work! This adds to my trauma as a black woman but glad the truth is somewhere... I'm tired of people acting like these things never happened and aren't still happening

And not that long ago a small (luckily incompetent) group tried to violently overthrow the government of West Virginia. They attacked the capital, but it was only a few people so they were easily subdued. But this idea of violently overthrowing your local government is baked into right wing DNA in the US and is talked about quite a bit.

They wouldn't believe it because, if they were good people, it would require them to acknowledge that there was a reason POC are often in disadvantageous positions - because when they actually, openly showed signs of prosperity, there were marauding bands of people with racist agendas who were devoted to bringing them down.
@@crassirus I say every black american should be an ardent second amendment supporter. God what I would give to have a time machine and hand out ak-47's to every black man and woman.
Sheridan Taylor There’s just one problem with that: the state government was also under the control of white supremacists, and if the blacks armed themselves, the state government would use that as a justification to send the National Guard after them. So not only would you have bands of white racists killing blacks, THE STATE GOVERNMENT would also be doing that.
@@souvikrc4499 The state government were a bunch of white racists anyway. That aside, I think his point was that giving them superior firepower would give them an edge in a rebellion.
This is one reason why gun control is NOT a good idea. Americans have owned guns since the beginning. Mass shootings are a fairly recent phenomenon. Throughout American history, guns have been used by law-abiding citizens to hunt, and to defend ourselves. This is the ONLY reason we have never been invaded by another country! Stay WOKE!! This video is one example of why we need to be armed! Racists are running rampant! It will only get worse!
I’m glad more of these stories are coming out. Most American films show black people during slavery or during the civil rights movement, there’s no in between.

Something similar happened in every city/state that had a sizeable Black population: After the Civil War and reconstruction era began, many Black people settled, all over the South too, and became involved in the government process, they voted, held offices, were engaged citizens. Soon after, you have the formation and appearance of Klu Klux Klan... Killings, lynchings, and violence against Blacks were tactics they used to try prevent and exclude Blacks from being involved in politics, creating better economic futures for future generations, etc. Creating and passing Jim Crows laws for the sole purpose of making those killings and violence legal was the next step. We had to go look for our history because oral histories that we tried to pass down were stolen or cut off when our people were killed -just to make a statement or remind us that we weren't supposed to try to better ourselves.
something we usually don't find in American history - the violent overthrow of a democratically elected government : central and south American countrys making sad noises
I had genuinely never heard this story, thank you for sharing. It’s awful what happened, and it’s so important to shed light on it.
this video was just uploaded 21 mins and and your comment was 21 mins ago. you did not even watched the video yet

@iconoclast progress starts with us... We must show this to our children ourselves if the system will not.
Amazing this success hasn't been replicated in any Sub Saharan country.
Yeh it should show the atrocities of the democratic party.
Why its lies
Did y'all not even pay attention in school?
Boy have we come a long way, but yet still have a long way to go.

90 years without a black rep? That’s disgusting
@Sheldon Earthstein as a Black person, I will tell you why. Imagine if your culture didn't have proper representation in the government in which you live under and pay taxes to. No policies would have your cultures needs taken into consideration, because there is no proper source of education about said culture. Its happens in the media as well
Women went longer than that.

My grandad told me that Wilmington, NC had it's own Black Wallstreet going on until WS rose up and stole everything from Blacks to include land and houses. This history is hidden. Tulsa,OK wasn't the only place where Blacks had done well for themselves post slavery. That is how my family ended up in Durham, NC. We originally came from Wilmington.
Not only that there are black great-great-grandparents whose children and grandchildren in places like Raliegh and Durham who still have deeds for land stolen by whites whose names are littered around the city streets names and building names all over Wilmington.

@@AP-ym1lo: Lisa Cabrera channel has a video about a year ago naming all such areas of the country that Blacks had done well for themselves. Check out her history videos.
Yup. This history was intentionally hidden from us.
@@AP-ym1lo many cities had these areas. Places that free slaves went to, they built up for themselves. Research "The Rosewood Massacre", this happened in Florida in a small black community.

There is a 40 min movie made by a Wilmington student by the name of Oliver Nelson in film school. It is called 'The Red Cape' and it is about the 1898 riots. I worked with the students on their film. It was a hard film to work on, very emotional to see how African Americans were treated. This was in 2008. Check it out, 'The Red Cape'.
Apologies, the name of the student is Nelson Oliver. I had it backwards.
where can i find it, please send the link
Imagine how much further ahead we could be, if evil things like this weren’t done, to set us back.

‘When White Suprematists Overthrew the Government and Never Let It Go’
That should be the name of this story.
Private Number It doesn’t go both ways. There is no history of black governments imposing apartheid or Jim Crow-style laws on white populations or openly condoning, participating and/or encouraging their murder at the hands of the black citizenry. There is no history of any white population anywhere in the world having to conduct a non-violent multi-decade civil and human rights movement that resulted in many of them being brutally murdered or maimed. Try again.

@@jakerupp2113 . Put simply, succinctly, plainly and truthfully; in much of modern America? If you are non-white? ... No.
G O “blacks did some farming” is the dumbest, most ignorant, thing I’ve read on this post. Black people built the White House, fought in EVERY American war, be it willingly or unwillingly, and built the economy of the American South from the ground up. They then started some of the most prestigious colleges and universities, companies, and political parties. Maybe if racist white people of the Reconstruction era and today weren’t so paranoid about having to live in a Multiracial society, then African Americans would be much closer to equity and equality in today’s society.
The amazing thing is that African Americans have had a great amount of success, but for all of their successes they had been targeted to be kept in poverty.
@Appalachian no, its the democrats. They wan,t to keep them down, because they know black people are powerful.

@Spit on it paw paw Im a Nurse. Im not on welfare. This is not the 80's 90's Black people are graduating from college with degrees, running their own business etc. There are mostly immigrants on welfare now days. All black people are not poor. I know a lot of mid/upper class Black people like myself. Welfare couldn't do a thing for me. I wouldn't accept it if it was given to me. Im a tax payer like most of my fellow African Americans.
My ancestors where indeed in that succesful group.
Yup.
PURE EVIL!!!
You'll never figure out where you are if you don't know how you got there.
The Democrat party needs to come to terms with its racist past and the Republican Party needs to come to terms with its racist present.
Black people know about the state, party switch in the 1960s. It's the Racist got the uneducated believing they are the Party of Lincoln.
Look up "political realignment" and "southern strategy" to understand that party names are just nominal
The two have switched views from what they started with. The Republicans party now possess the views of the 1898 Democratic Party.

Huh? You're telling them to research but, you failed to use reading comprehension. The OP said, "Republicans need to come to terms with its racist present". Imply they understood the switch. Their comment isn't even edited.
This is why I tell my people to learn history because history is relevant to the present...

Amen to that I hope we can wake the people up to the truth of the demonic-rat party and their racist views of them.
history is relevant
@@hassan10ify Sure did and then have the nerve to act like it didnt happen. The trail of tears was nothing compared to the wars they started. Theres no such thing as discovering when people are already there.
History is a current affair
If you forget the past your doomed to repeat it. Guess we are learning that again.
Can we have a moment to thank a Nigérian born called Philip Emengwali for making the calculations that made it possible for a computer to communicate with another computer therefore creating the internet.
This is why you should never follow a political party blindly.
I would argue that is why you should never follow a political party _period._ Why do you need a group to tell you what you believe and stand for? Even in the case of voting I believe it should _always_ come down to each candidates individual policy and ideas.
It's just a barbaric extension of tribalism, and needs to end.
*_Edit:_*_ Grammar, used "an" when "a" was needed._
NWinnStudio do you know how a political party is formed? Say that you are a poor factory worker, you live near other poor factory workers, you want to improve your friends and family’s lot in life. So you support things that you believe would improve it like trade unionism or economic welfare, you start speaking your mind at community gatherings, your neighbors agree with you, they then do things to influence the government like protests, rallies, and election of friendly officials, you experience some push back by opponents of your ideas so you maintain the group to protect policies influenced by your ideas. That is the reason why political parties are formed not to control the populace but to organize supporters of ideas.
Cole Ball The problem is that people tend to just blindly vote with their party instead of doing their own research on what each candidate stands for. Not saying parties aren't a good thing, just saying that it can be dangerous when people get lazy.

Just curious. What does American schools teach in history class? Only their ca 300 years history or world history ?
It’s so sad that America will never know it’s true history because of the shame, but will be the first to point out another’s.
Yup. Always how it goes. Expose everyone else, and hide our own dirt.
There is no shame. America jist figured out how to be racist covertly.
As you can see, they take great pride in their racist history.
@@atlien1988 Then why did they hide it?
Actually, many DO KNOW! Some refuse to read, and the media controls the agenda.

No person wants to bear that load... none will.
