Graduate student Aryn explores the making and meaning of the 1898 Memorial installed in Wilmington, North Carolina more than a century after the violent events of Nov 10, 1898. Along the way, Aryn looks at the false historical memories that forestalled public acknowledgment of the role of white supremacy in the coup and massacre and examines the political process of memorialization.
