![The image depicts a scene from the early 20th century featuring four individuals on a street in front of a store. The focus is on two young girls and an adult male standing next to them.
On the left side, there's a woman dressed in traditional late Victorian-era attire with long skirts, likely indicating she was not working but possibly waiting for someone or doing some shopping. In the center stands another girl wearing a plaid dress with puffed sleeves, white lace at the wrists and neck, and dark shoes on her feet.
To their right is an adult male standing in a formal suit adorned with a bow tie, suspenders, and a hat indicative of early 20th-century fashion. He holds some papers or tickets in his hand, possibly indicating he was selling them to passersby as part of a job or perhaps trying to earn money for personal needs.
On the far right is another young boy standing with one arm behind his back wearing what appears to be a more casual outfit consisting of a light-colored shirt and dark trousers. He seems engrossed in something out-of-frame, possibly interacting with someone not pictured in this shot.
Behind them stands a sign for "Crosby Hill Company," suggesting they were near their business establishment or perhaps waiting outside one at the time.

![The image is a sepia-toned photograph depicting three individuals in front of an outdoor market stand. The two younger boys are standing on the sidewalk, while one older individual appears to be managing the stand behind them.
On the left side stands a young boy wearing what seems like early 20th-century attire including overalls and a coat. He has short hair, is looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression. To his right, another younger boy in similar clothing poses for the photograph, standing beside an old-fashioned cart which might be used to transport goods.
Behind them stands what appears to be their father managing the market stand. His posture and facial features are more mature compared to the boys, suggesting he is likely older than they are. He seems engaged with some items on or around the stall but also looks at the camera.
The backdrop shows a brick pavement leading up to an elevated walkway supported by wooden beams above which hangs another canopy-like structure partially covered in fabric material. This could be part of other market stands nearby, creating a bustling environment typical for markets during that period. The setting appears urban with various items including barrels or containers possibly used as makeshift counters.
A prominent sign on the right side reads "GARRICK I," perhaps indicating either the name of one vendor amongst many at this location or hinting towards some product [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/113/627/912/289/206/493/original/c3d7cf57b93e5f07.jpeg "The image is a sepia-toned photograph depicting three individuals in front of an outdoor market stand.

Those who may want to know more about the little-known Wilmington story may also be interested in this new video from American Experience, focusing on the family of Alex and Carrie Manly. Alex was editor and publisher of The Wilmington Daily Record, the only Black-owned newspaper in the city. His offices were burned to the ground in the Wilmington coup and his family run out of town.
I recently posted information about an American Experience video that aired a week ago entitled "American Coup: Wilmington 1898."
The video focuses on the racial massacre and carefully orchestrated coup that took place in Wilmington, North Carolina, in 1898. White supremacists murdered Black residents of the city and overthrew its duly elected multi-racial government.

www.pbs.orgAmerican Coup: Wilmington 1898 | American Experience | PBSThe little-known story of a deadly 1898 race massacre and coup d’état in Wilmington, North Carolina, when white supremacists overthrew the multi-racial government of state’s largest city through a campaign of violence and intimidation.
Was just thinking about the shape of the east coast (the curved crest shapes) and hurricanes, and whaddyaknow, there seems to be a link! I'm sure it's not as simple as that, though, can anyone out there recommend further reading on the topic?
Just In Weather · How Hurricanes Interact With Land And Helped Shape The US East Coast - Just In WeatherSeptember 3 2019 I have had a lot of questions and comments recently with Hurricane Dorian slowly heading towards the eastern US. There is a range from fear of another Isabel for The Chesapeake Bay to the expectation that most storms miss the Mid Atlantic. My purpose here is a quick look at tropical cyclone […]

As the Wilmington story tells us, coups are part and parcel of US history — particular white supremacist ones. And the story also tells us that history can be erased by those intent on covering up what they've done, intent on disappearing the people they have trodden down.
As in the past, so in the present….
Yes, this is absolutely who we are.

"'We have to understand the conditions that allowed a duly elected government to be overthrown in a democracy. The only way that we can deal with this is not to slough it off as "this is not who we are, this is not what we do," but is to understand, "yes, we did this. And that we will never do this again.’”

“'And I never recall hearing about the Wilmington Insurrection.' ...
'The story of the Wilmington coup is so important for American history,' said Carol Anderson, Sanders’s academic colleague at Emory University.'"

"For millions of students passing through North Carolina’s public schools, learning from textbooks that never mentioned the deadly 1898 coup d’etat in their state, it was as though that event never happened. 'I took several courses on North Carolina history throughout my middle school and high school career,' Dr. Crystal Sanders, today a history professor at Emory University, told American Experience."
