I went to HS in Wilmington, NC in the late 90’s and it was never mentioned. There was a sign on Market St heading into downtown that called the event a “race riot” (The sign has now been amended to “massacre”, I believe). The only race that rioted was the whites .
I’m glad to see all the research being brought to light recently. I read “Wilmington‘s Lie” by David Zucchino. It is very heavy, but the truth should be known.
