Author(s):

Bryant, H.E.C. (Red Buck)

Abstract:

Bryant continues his series of articles, this time recalling the events in the late 1890s when the white politicians and their allies regained control of the state and local governments from African Americans who had taken them over in the years following the Civil War. As a young reporter on a Charlotte newspaper, Bryant had been assigned to write about the African American officeholders in the eastern counties and their activities.
