Last updated on: August 6, 2020 at 5:30 am By Jim Denison

Others are less famous nationally. North Carolina currently honors Charles Brantley Aycock and Zebulon Baird Vance. However, the former was one of the masterminds of an 1898 race riot in which a local government composed of Black Americans was overthrown and replaced by white officials. In... Read more

Last updated on: August 4, 2020 at 5:55 am By Jim Denison
