Summary: The Truth Hurts
Comment: This book is a prime example of how major events in history can go overlooked. These riots in Wilmington did not only affect the city but whole nation in dealing with race realtions. With the emergence of Jim Crow in America these riots just reaffirmed the old doctrine of white supremacy. The novel also shows how major a city Wilmington was at the turn of the century. Gerard sums of the events that took place in 1898 in a quote by Edmund Burke in 1789, "An event has happened, upon which it is difficult to speak, and impossible to be silent." This is true about a lot of American history. Check this book out you might come away with more than you bargain for.

Summary: Mind-blower
Comment: This is one of those books that blows your mind by opening a new door on history. I wondered while reading of the incredible events chronicled in this book why my education had failed to teach of this. (There's an obvious reason: it's a shameful page in America's history.) The novel that surrounds the history is good, solid, but not superb. However, the book is worth reading for the history alone. You will not be disappointed. It will change you.
