History taster: race, power, and democracy in the US
StudentsVirtual
What can the only successful coup in US history tell us about race, power, and democracy? Join this session with the University of Southampton to explore the 1898 Wilmington Insurrection, when a white-supremacist mob overthrew North Carolina’s elected city government and drove Black residents from their homes. Examine the propaganda, class tensions, and ideas about race and gender that fuelled the violence. The session will also draw parallels with the attack on the US Capitol on 6 January 2021.
