Portrait of Alexander Manly
Alexander L. Manly was a Black leader and newspaper editor in Wilmington, N.C., during the 1890s. As editor of The Record, he was accused of stirring "racial discord" through his outspoken editorial policy which supported social and political rights of Black Americans. In 1898, Manly and his family were forced to flee the city by the Red Shirt terrorists on the eve of the infamous 1898 Wilmington Coup. The Manlys resettled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
