Ghosts of 1898

On top of page 2 this article, I wondered who Daniel Russell was, and why he didn't do something to stop the violence in Wilmington.

I also wanted to learn more about Alfred Waddell (fourth line from the bottom of page 2).

What questions did you have as you read this article? And what have you done to try to answer your questions? Please comment below.

Here's a PBS source about 1898.

Here is the 1898 Wilmington Race Riot Commission's website.

And here's a UNC website about the events of 1898.

And here's a controversy about a statue of Josephus Daniels.
