The Wilmington Ten: violence, injustice, and the rise of black politics in the 1970s

This volume narrates the dramatic story of the Wilmington Ten, connecting their story to a larger arc of Black Power and the transformation of post-Civil Rights era political organising.

Grounded in extensive interviews, newly declassified government documents, and archival research, the author thoroughly examines the 1971 events and the subsequent movement for justice.
