“Wilmington’s Lie: The Murderous Coup of 1898 and the Rise of White Supremacy,” is the most complete and in-depth account of the massacre of Wilmington’s Black community as well as the violence and the political and media campaign that followed.
This is the third and final in a three-event series, the Common Word Community Read, which brings the UNC Asheville community together each semester around a shared text to engage in a collective educational experience that features lectures and discussions in a welcoming and respectful environment. The program is curated by Wiley Cash, New York Times bestselling author, alumnus of the class of 2000, and UNCA’s Executive Director of Literary Arts.
