I like the way this post ends with the phrase "coming back with a vengeance" because the air is charged with violent energy. And Mills captures well in a short space ugly realities. One word on the Wilmington Massacre of Nov. 1898. I was teaching in the English Dept. at UNCW when Philip Gerard's book __Cape Fear Rising__ was about to be released. Thank goodness Jim Leutze was chancellor at the time, 1994. Leutze's background as a history professor and his excellence in international affairs, among other attributes, helped UNCW develop a leadership role in global learning for the 21st century. Leutze at the helm when Gerard's book was about to hit helped prepare for ways Gerard's telling of the racist incident would challenge the "antebellum Azalea Festival" mentality of the Port City.
