THURSDAY, 09 NOV, 7PM: RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT!

Local author Larry Reni Thomas, whose Associated Press photograph was
featured in a June 2006 Washington Post article on The Wilmington Race
Riot of 1898 report, is scheduled to appear at The Internationalist Book
Store, 405 W. Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, November 9,
2006, from 7 pm to 9pm,  on the eve of the 108th anniversary of the
Wilmington Race/Coup of 1898, to read from and sign copies of  his two
books:  The True Story Behind the Wilmington Ten  and Rabbit!  Rabbit!
Rabbit!:  A  Fictional Account of the  Wilmington Ten Incident.  Thomas,
a  Wilmington native, has a M.A. in History from UNC- Chapel Hill and is
the founder of  ICROW1898, INC.  (The International Organization for
Compensation and Reparations for the Victims of the Wilmington Race
Riot/Coup of 1898, Inc.).  He was one of the first to advocate
compensation for the victims of that event.

THE TRUE STORY BEHIND THE WILMINGTON TEN (UB&US Books) -1982 (a  revised
edition was published in 1993).  The book is a brief historical sketch
about the revealing relationship between The Wilmington Race Riot of
1898, and Wilmington Incident of 1971, commonly called The Wilmington
Ten Incident of 1971.  He contends that the Wilmington Ten Incident was
"black retaliation" for the black deaths, devastation and damage that
occurred in 1898 and that such incidents will happen again until changes
are made in Wilmington.
RABBIT!  RABBIT!  RABBIT!  : A SAGA OF THE WILMINGTON TEN INCIDENT OF
1971 is a fictional account of the incident based on interviews he
conducted in the late 1970s while a history graduate student at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.   The book is an
easy-to-read, exciting, chilling, sometimes funny, imaginary tale and
shows the consequences of a group of inexperienced individuals who
played with "revolution," or what some of them  thought was an organized
serious effort to change the status quo of a small, isolated Southern
city. The saga takes place when most of the racial violence of the 1960s
had ceased.  The incident was noteworthy, not only because it happened
late, but because it showed how a community, divided along generational
and racial lines, dealt with four days of widespread terror that changed
the course of the city's history.
