An absorbing investigation into a little-known historical tragedy--an insurrection which upended a resilient and wealthy Black community who found themselves in the clutches of an insurrection at the turn of the twentieth century in Laurinburg, North Carolina.

In the late nineteenth century, Laurinburg, North Carolina, was a beacon of racial calm--a place where Blacks and whites could live and work together. Black families like the Malloys became landlords, business owners, and doctors. Thriving together and changing the economic landscape. But that progress was shattered on the eve of Election Day, 1898, when supremacist groups launched a bloody attack, forcing Laurinburg's Black citizens to flee. This riot was beginning of the only recorded insurrection, stripping middle-class Blacks--who made strides during Reconstruction--of their seats on every electoral board.
