Abstract:
William W. Holden is not viewed well in North Carolina history as characterized by mainstream defenders of the “Old South”. In this article, Wade Harrison tells the other side of the story with equally convincing support of a leader and others tirelessly involved in in doing the best for their community and state and yet brutally attacked without provocation to satisfy those fearful of the demise of white supremacy. The lynching of William Outlaw, a highly respected African American in Graham and the resulting martial law declared under George Washington Kirk by then Governor Holden are the basis of this story.
