Title
The Wilmington Race Riot Memorial
Subject
The memorial was built to honor those killed in the event.
Description
The Wilmington Race Riot memorial took nearly 10 years to legally establish. It was officially created almost a century to the day of when the massacre occurred in Wilmington. The six oars are meant to represent change, as well as diversity. This monument is symbolic to the city of Wilmington and strives not only to remind people of what happened, but to heal the wounds of those who lost family members in the horrid occurrence.
