Heads up!
I mentioned earlier that I've been working on a story examining some issues of conspiracy raised by the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission's recently released report. That article is now finished and, as I type this, is schedule to run on Sunday.
Related at least somewhat to the Greensboro TRC report is the fact that Wilmington recently underwent a similar process in regard to the violent overthrow in 1898 of a legitimately elected city government -- the only such case in U.S. history. Local blogger Sean Coon has a couple of posts on the issue and its Greensboro connections. Sean in turn links to the Wilmington report and an outstanding radio program on the subject. As I said in the comments, I'm 46 and have lived in this state all but a few months of my life, and I was past 40 before I ever heard anything about the events of 1898.

I'm really interested to see where you went with the story, Lex. Is this going to be in print tomorrow?

It's scheduled to be. I never say something WILL run on a particular date unless the press is running and I've seen copies of the paper coming off the press with the story in them. :-)
