@@SamotOremor this is only the top of the iceberg. The level of political violence and dehumanization Black people have faced in America is astonishing. So Instead of confronting this history, some would prefer to hide it and outlaw the teaching of it.
This is why America or the US Government do not want to talk about our history as Black people in America and all the evil atrocities in most cities or towns.
I’m a life long North Carolinian. You’d be shocked at how many North Carolinians have never even heard of what happened in Wilmington. It’s truly unbelievable. And discomforting as black man knowing it’s turned into a modern day tourist beach city and college town.
This is why Qanon and Christian fundamentalists and nationalists are at war with NPR and PBS. Our largest demographic, completely brainwashed, is looking to take them down. Qanon country with King Qanon and his Qanon run government agents supporting “The Cause”
It is such nonsense, this idea that someone who isn't part of the majority, who becomes successful, somehow diminishes the majority. I wonder if we will ever get over discriminating against those who aren't like us, just 'cause we can. It is such a waste
Every day I learn about Black history is a day I've been humbled. Learning just one part of hidden history already felt so liberating- it's important to remember how little we know and how far we must go
I was shocked when I learned about John Brown. The movie isn’t 100 percent accurate but it’s another story in American history that’s was suppress on Purpose. Their are a lot of wonderful American history stories that are actively being suppressed because the powers that be don’t want us knowing the truth
All those western colonial white supremacists state are just a bunch of sell out slave who obey to the NaZionist thugs pariah state ordered under Satanyahu !!
And the fact they refuse to pay us Foundational Black Americans Reparations! I’m 48 and my parents are 82 & 80, both raised in Jim Crow America. Both my grandparents fought in WWII and were treated like animals after their service! 🔥🇺🇸🔥
Yes. It's a humiliation ritual. If we celebrated the good, we can move forward. But the creation and maintenance of shame keeps people stuck. When we learn about history, we should always have the good with the bad. Redemption follows failure, but it has to be pursued.
@@fasted8468 that kind of reminds me of this Ta-Nehisi Coates quote: "As an African-American, we stand on the shoulders of people who fought despite not seeing victories in their lifetime or even in their children's lifetime or even in their grandchildren's lifetime. So fatalism isn't really an option." I really like how it illuminates the fact that justice is certainly *not* inevitable, but must be actively fought for
It's a fantastic channel which I watch regularly. They did a brilliant documentary about Palestine and how Zionists took over. It's heart breaking and yes the are from Eastern Europe.
Should thank my high school America history teacher. He had us throw our books in the garbage the first day of class. He taught with 100% notes. Was taught all of this and I’m disgusted it isn’t being taught to all Americans. We need to know our history. Can only imagine what I don’t know…. Yet. Didn’t make me hate my country it made me proud of the people who fought hard to take one step forward even though they may have been pushed two steps back. Ty for making this documentary PBS. Look forward to any insights on the historical events.
I never learned about this or about Emmett Till in school, but as an avid reader, I learned about many things on my own. When I became a teacher, I taught my students many of these events/tragedies that weren’t in their text books. I taught them about the impressive accomplishments of Indigenous people and other people of color as well. I always used supplemental material. Today, I would probably be fired for teaching these truths, but that would not stop me until the day I’d get my walking papers. 🫠
I learned about Wilmington a few years ago. When I was reading about the post-Civil War era. It's strange how African Americans really tried to be successful. But southerners wouldn't let them. We've come a long way since then. I'll admit that.
@@eksbocks9438 You mean Democrats.... There are more black people living in poverty in northern Democrat cities than there have ever been in the south.
Imagine how far along black Americans would be if we didn't have to live with domestic terrorism since before America even existed. Reparations are past due.

I was in Wilmington at the army ammunition depo in 2015 as a staff Sgt in the u.s army performing a week long mission i can honestly tell you that the racism we black soldiers experienced in Wilmington was ridiculous the restaurants told us they were closed after waiting an hour to order but they let the white soldiers order but they refused to place their orders because they wouldn't serve the black soldiers and when we went to the local bars they would purposely skip over the black soldiers to get the the white soldiers drinks and ignore us and when we tried to order they said they weren't taking anymore orders they didn't give one damn about us serving the country I've never seen racism so openly i have not and will not ever vist that racist sundown town again and i advise my black family to steer clear of Wilmington NC.

No. Not @timk5867. If a person is so dumb that they have to ask, "who isn't free," then that person has already contributed to taking freedom away from other people. People who are that dumb, that they can't comprehend who is & isn't free, don't deserve freedom because they would so willingly take it from others. Decent, intelligent people deserve freedom. Indecent, ignorant people do not.
My people are from Rockingham, Hamlet, Southern Pines, and Laurinburg, perhaps an hour from Wilmington. I lived in Jacksonville in the early 1980s. It was not openly taught but widely known by the locals, who did their level best to ignore it and promote their "Lost Cause" mythos.
Plenty of things about white people we didn’t learn either get over yourself if you want to learn it, go do research instead of blaming white people for everything
@@timk5867 , being ignorant is different from being deceived. Ignorance hinders no one until confronted with the truth, which is why the majority populace has chosen to refute the truth.

This Is Why Black Americans Should Get Reparations. Because Of What Was Taking From Their Ancestors & What They Are Still Going Through Today. It Ticks Me Off That Racist People Are Trying To Erase & Not Have This History In Schools & It's Just Ridiculous🤦🏻♀️
From1895 to 1992 , I'm from Jacksonville originally , when it comes to Discrimination some things never Change . NC gave the Confederate Army most if it's Privates , most of their Generals were from Virgini. In the Cotton States Black ( Slaves too ) were the Majority , if it were one Man one Vote ( before Suffrage ) then the entire South would have had Black officials - how clever , cry havoc , unleash the Dogs of War and the imaginary threat of real Democracy would just fade away . Majority rule or not some White Folk want Dominance in Politics, at any Cost . Tulsa happened too , forgotton , almost no prosecutions for Murder . Look up " Injustice " in the Dictionary and you'll see a Map of America . Shame on us .😢
Been past due bless our ancestors in every level may their souls be at rest🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 my lord they suffered sooooo much injustice WE CAN’T GO BACK
There just now putting this out here what occured in Wilmington, North Carolina, 1898? These stories were going on throughout the Country in place's up North and in the Deep South!
Thank you so Very Much for airing this movie!! This is the First I have heard of this, and I will PASS this information On!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
This was so rampant I can never understand why we were begging to be part of corrupt government. We had our own but jealousy and greed once again showed its face.
No one is going to just lie down and take it. This time is going to be very different. Trust me you do not want to force us to have to defend ourselves because this time we will.
Nothing can be done to forgive the Americans who both allowed this to happen and partook in its destruction. This has happened in all areas where American blacks people have tried to live in their own version of liberty.
My nephew was stationed near Wilmington North Carolina. I visited him several years ago. While driving through the area I felt something strange e vibes I can't explain it. I later read about this area . It just makes you wonder how long hostility last. How long does it take for this evil to dissipate from the atmosphere.
Congratulations to Amy Goodman and Juan. Congratulations to Professor Carol Anderson, History is best written in your hands. Congratulations to Yoruba Richen for this great film. No election in The USA has stirred so much mental strife and fear in the marginalized of this global society than this 2024 elections because Africans on both sides of the Atlantic ocean are still dealing with the emotional baggage of the horrors of the trans Atlantic slave trade and route in so many ways and places. I used to hear of the Confederacy, but delved into it to know more about it just a week before this just concluded 2024 US elections. I once asked myself if any past US President has apologized to Black Americans for the injustice slavery has brought, done and left on each Black American besides The Emancipation Proclamation of January 1863 by the one and only President Abraham Linkoln, a Republican, and then I remembered that President Bill Clinton did make an open apology while in office. While one hopes that the challenges, pains and losses this singular act of inhumanity of one side against the other will come to an end, very disheartening to see more terrible stories as contained in this film are emerging and thanks to Yoruba Richen for taking the time to tell us there is more. Know your History, know where you are coming from so that you know where you are going. Thank you really Yoruba and all Film Makers who have brought real life stories of this type to the knowlegde of others.
This same type of evil also happened in NC, Durham…. The Tulsa Massacre was not the only one, as it happened in all “ black “ own cities, towns and states!!! This is history
Thats how the branding of black and white started iäfrom the beginning. This was no big deal in early america until there was a revolt of poor peasants, the majority of settlers, black and white, against the wealthy new england landlords, bacons rebellion, 1660 or so. After that the Elites started to divide in black and white
@@Mageroeth Nah. It won't take but long for racist yt-peepow from the wealthy-class to find a way to cut the funding to local-LE in racial-minority areas, and there are plenty of racist yt-peepow from the working-class who will help the racist yt-peepow from the wealthy-class. Furthermore, there are plenty of racial-minorities in LE who will gladly do whatever their yt-masters tell them to do. That's RW-politics -- the indecent, wealthy-class knaves using the indecent, working-class dupes to control the decent & innocent working-class people -- and it's been going on for thousands of years. That's exactly how the wealthy-class Confedrates & wealthy-class NatCs got their power, and the same dynamic is happening in the US today.
@@MageroethWe have defined enemies like few times in US history. There are hateful people who voted for Trump, and there are those who aren't taking that hate lying down. You might want to read the news, lol.
Many Native Americans were dispossessed, expelled, and/or marginalized. Many of those left were hardly positioned to contribute politically in any significant way outside of the Fusion movement. Still, their influence mattered and was felt in the lives of families like my own, which has tribal heritage in the Low Country region.
I've read Zucchino's book on this subject & a lot of newspaper articles from that time. What I don't like is how the word "multiracial" is used here; our modern sensibilities may confuse the reality here. There were just Blacks & whites there. My main point: WS has been attempting to erase Black life in every way since 1526; this is just an extreme example of systematic oppression. Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.
This is some very important history that's often left out, and for that reason it's good to see. But it would be nice to see a more honest and balanced treatment of it. When someone is working so hard to frame the story in terms of their current political worries, it doesn't inspire confidence in their facts.
Thank you for expressing this. When I hear black women after the election say they are going to 'rest', I know they don't know their own history. We can NEVER rest as long as there's anti blackness. We are made to resist from our very souls.
People: This is why certain people don't want Black history taught. Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Black history is America history.

No. Not @timk5867. If a person is so dumb that they have to ask, "who isn't free," then that person has already contributed to taking freedom away from other people. People who are that dumb, that they can't comprehend who is & isn't free, don't deserve freedom because they would so willingly take it from others. Decent, intelligent people deserve freedom. Indecent, ignorant people do not.
@@timk5867 ......everybody....including....you...!
@@agnikollias6678 how so
I grew up in Burgaw (20minutes )from Wilmington we didn’t learn this in school. 😢
My people are from Rockingham, Hamlet, Southern Pines, and Laurinburg, perhaps an hour from Wilmington. I lived in Jacksonville in the early 1980s. It was not openly taught but widely known by the locals, who did their level best to ignore it and promote their "Lost Cause" mythos.
Plenty of things about white people we didn’t learn either get over yourself if you want to learn it, go do research instead of blaming white people for everything
@@timk5867 , being ignorant is different from being deceived. Ignorance hinders no one until confronted with the truth, which is why the majority populace has chosen to refute the truth. Perhaps your ignorance and nonchalance was encouraged through a lack of intellectual curiosity by both you or your forebears... if so, that's laziness on you and yours. However, stifling and whitewashing history is malicious, and that's what we know systemic racism has enabled and been doing. Trying to deflect and blame a learner for that maliciousness is about as ignorant as one can be.

Nobody in the thread before myself blamed white people. According to this historical account on this tragedy they were the antagonists. Projecting your fear, guilt, or pride about what your great grandpappy was getting up to is showing Timmyboy.
Trump loves holding rallies there for the same reason he loves having rallies in Tulsa and at 6 Grandfathers.
It seems that the democrats have not changed at all since the 1800s.
Don’t forget Waco. Frightening the dog whistles behind everything!
And Trump isn't smart enough to know all that. I believe Stephen Miller is always the man behind the curtain
Joe Biden and Kamala too

This Is Why Black Americans Should Get Reparations. Because Of What Was Taking From Their Ancestors & What They Are Still Going Through Today. It Ticks Me Off That Racist People Are Trying To Erase & Not Have This History In Schools & It's Just Ridiculous🤦🏻♀️
Thank you DemocracyNow.
From1895 to 1992 , I'm from Jacksonville originally , when it comes to Discrimination some things never Change . NC gave the Confederate Army most if it's Privates , most of their Generals were from Virgini. In the Cotton States Black ( Slaves too ) were the Majority , if it were one Man one Vote ( before Suffrage ) then the entire South would have had Black officials - how clever , cry havoc , unleash the Dogs of War and the imaginary threat of real Democracy would just fade away . Majority rule or not some White Folk want Dominance in Politics, at any Cost . Tulsa happened too , forgotton , almost no prosecutions for Murder . Look up " Injustice " in the Dictionary and you'll see a Map of America . Shame on us .😢
Reparations are overdue.
Been past due bless our ancestors in every level may their souls be at rest🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 my lord they suffered sooooo much injustice WE CAN’T GO BACK
There just now putting this out here what occured in Wilmington, North Carolina, 1898?
These stories were going on throughout the Country in place's up North and in the Deep South!
And ppl think reparations are only about slavery🤦🏾♂️…
Thank you so Very Much for airing this movie!! This is the First I have heard of this, and I will PASS this information On!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
Keep going Amy, we need sanity
This was so rampant I can never understand why we were begging to be part of corrupt government. We had our own but jealousy and greed once again showed its face.
This thing is like 5 years late and a glimpse of our future.
Watch the documentary Wilmington on Fire. It was produced in 2015. You can find it online.
Why does it matter you wouldn’t be happy I think people like you promote racism
Not this time, and no more.
No one is going to just lie down and take it. This time is going to be very different. Trust me you do not want to force us to have to defend ourselves because this time we will.
Sounds like a page out of the Israeli state playbook
Black people always stand your ground no matter what.....
Support PBS and listen. 🇺🇲💙⚖️
We just finished watching this on pbs.....what a tragedy... compensation should be given to the descendants ... I am sorry for your loss..
They would have to compensate almost everyone, they have discriminated against every race not just black.
We want a rerun of this film,live!!
We want racists banned from all public Service
Nothing can be done to forgive the Americans who both allowed this to happen and partook in its destruction. This has happened in all areas where American blacks people have tried to live in their own version of liberty.
Wow, I discovered that just now! This episode in American history should be known to everyone... everywhere in the world.
(with more details)
Wow 😳😮😢 That's a WOW Moment!!!!!
Hate always rises up. 😤
Saw this at our Documentary Film Festival and highly recommend it
All History matters, and all massacres are criminal. No hyphens required.
This is never spoken about and it’s important! I hope they tell the truth. I’ll check it out.
Black or Indigenous Native Americans? Tell the whole truth! Indigenous Native American reminding everyone to look at those old census!
I Love That This History is Being Highlighted...
Great DOCUMENTRY!
My nephew was stationed near Wilmington North Carolina. I visited him several years ago. While driving through the area I felt something strange e vibes I can't explain it. I later read about this area . It just makes you wonder how long hostility last. How long does it take for this evil to dissipate from the atmosphere.
Brilliant,
Well Done..👍🙏
Thank you for sharing this piece of American history. I’ve never seen this story in the history books.
I found out about this last year. 😡
Congratulations to Amy Goodman and Juan. Congratulations to Professor Carol Anderson, History is best written in your hands. Congratulations to Yoruba Richen for this great film. No election in The USA has stirred so much mental strife and fear in the marginalized of this global society than this 2024 elections because Africans on both sides of the Atlantic ocean are still dealing with the emotional baggage of the horrors of the trans Atlantic slave trade and route in so many ways and places. I used to hear of the Confederacy, but delved into it to know more about it just a week before this just concluded 2024 US elections. I once asked myself if any past US President has apologized to Black Americans for the injustice slavery has brought, done and left on each Black American besides The Emancipation Proclamation of January 1863 by the one and only President Abraham Linkoln, a Republican, and then I remembered that President Bill Clinton did make an open apology while in office. While one hopes that the challenges, pains and losses this singular act of inhumanity of one side against the other will come to an end, very disheartening to see more terrible stories as contained in this film are emerging and thanks to Yoruba Richen for taking the time to tell us there is more. Know your History, know where you are coming from so that you know where you are going. Thank you really Yoruba and all Film Makers who have brought real life stories of this type to the knowlegde of others.
History is repeating itself that's all I can say🌄☮️🦍🖤
Thank you for sharing, "Amy Goodman." 🌹
This same type of evil also happened in NC, Durham…. The Tulsa Massacre was not the only one, as it happened in all “ black “ own cities, towns and states!!! This is history
Trump said in a rally that he wanted the government to go back to 1898. Weird comment…
He Also made it a priority to stop and make a "speech" at the airport during this election.
He wants a democratic fusion govt
@@tanukabanerjee1731what’s a democratic fusion government mean?
@jeremyledbetter8022 a govt that's elected by the people of the province which have both Black , mullato and white candidates holding office
@@tanukabanerjee1731I think he will elect those who bow down to him and are “Christian” mostly Catholic
The ones who n e e d to see this won’t watch it sadly, but i’m glad their story won’t be forgotten
Thats why we demand repreration !
This is why they assinated Fred Hampton. If the poor whites and the poor blacks got together it would be a real threat.
Thats how the branding of black and white started iäfrom the beginning. This was no big deal in early america until there was a revolt of poor peasants, the majority of settlers, black and white, against the wealthy new england landlords, bacons rebellion, 1660 or so. After that the Elites started to divide in black and white
This is our future. 1877 - 1930. Get ready.
Nah LE is sufficiently mixed cant happen without a civil war. And a civil war cant happen because we dont have defined enemies.
The enemy has been defined. They told you that you would need F-16s to take them on. @@Mageroeth
Get your head out of your ass
@@Mageroeth Nah. It won't take but long for racist yt-peepow from the wealthy-class to find a way to cut the funding to local-LE in racial-minority areas, and there are plenty of racist yt-peepow from the working-class who will help the racist yt-peepow from the wealthy-class.
Furthermore, there are plenty of racial-minorities in LE who will gladly do whatever their yt-masters tell them to do.
That's RW-politics -- the indecent, wealthy-class knaves using the indecent, working-class dupes to control the decent & innocent working-class people -- and it's been going on for thousands of years. That's exactly how the wealthy-class Confedrates & wealthy-class NatCs got their power, and the same dynamic is happening in the US today.
@@MageroethWe have defined enemies like few times in US history. There are hateful people who voted for Trump, and there are those who aren't taking that hate lying down.
You might want to read the news, lol.
Where are all the natives in all this? It's their land!!
Many Native Americans were dispossessed, expelled, and/or marginalized. Many of those left were hardly positioned to contribute politically in any significant way outside of the Fusion movement. Still, their influence mattered and was felt in the lives of families like my own, which has tribal heritage in the Low Country region.
They falsely accused them too of things to massacre them away in genocides like they did here again
They were already removed to barren lands which were called federal lands “ reservation,”
America probably used the "Buffalo Soldiers" to get rid of them, then disposed of the "Buffalo Soldiers" once all the dirty work was done.
Excellent food for thought !
It must be taught , the Truth must Prevail no matter the fear 😊
I don't know too much about history... But I'm HERE NOW!!! 🙏🏿
TELL EM COME DO IT THIS TIME
The apple still doesn't fall to far from the tree.
I've read Zucchino's book on this subject & a lot of newspaper articles from that time. What I don't like is how the word "multiracial" is used here; our modern sensibilities may confuse the reality here. There were just Blacks & whites there. My main point: WS has been attempting to erase Black life in every way since 1526; this is just an extreme example of systematic oppression. Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.
@@theatavist1 1526, explain?
History always repeats itself sadly
Don't even know where to begin to rebuild.
Even me an Australian knew this
do you post pictures anywhere?
I was looking for this 4 years ago, Vice TV did have an episode on this somehow they take it down
If you haven’t purchased the book, please do so.
Which led to President Woodrow Willson being the first Democrat party president who was the grand master of the kkk.
This is some very important history that's often left out, and for that reason it's good to see. But it would be nice to see a more honest and balanced treatment of it. When someone is working so hard to frame the story in terms of their current political worries, it doesn't inspire confidence in their facts.
Does anyone have a link or know how I can watch this movie? I've been searching online and can't find it.
Where can I watch this online?
I am a resident of Wilmington N.C. I hope this is close to fact. Those who write, film history NEVER tell the truth!!! Local, national or global.💯
Oh its fact!
Looks modern......they always do this
That’s what I love about our culture. We can be in power and share our power. We don’t kill because we’re losing power.
Thank you ❤
We are born to resist. Thank you to my ancestors 🙌🏿 will always ride for my ancestors.
Thank you for expressing this. When I hear black women after the election say they are going to 'rest', I know they don't know their own history. We can NEVER rest as long as there's anti blackness. We are made to resist from our very souls.
Is American democracy, fragile or illusion?
Both
America is a Republic not a democracy democracy means those who rules over us
Ah... Today nobody is pretending everything is alright and fixed anymore and to just get over it...
Criminal culture
1st Charlottesville in 2017, now Columbus, Ohio. I wonder why these guys are so bold.
Beware of your enemy 😊
