UNCW graduate student Tess examines the meanings and processes behind a daguerreotype cartes de visite of Alexander Manly, the editor of the Daily Record, Wilmington's only Black newspaper at the time of the 1898 massacre. Manly's anti-racist editorials provoked white supremacist anger, and some went so far as to blame Manly for the violence. Manly and his family escaped just before the violence ensued, never to return to Wilmington, and his printing press was burned to the ground.
