"The tour was fantastic. Cedric, the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable in the subject. I had not heard much on the subject over the years and learning about it was eye opening. I left feeling embarrassed that the event happened."

"I grew up 45 miles from Wilmington and was a history major in college and had never heard of the Riots of 1898 until the late 1990's (I am a 68 year old white guy). Since then I have read two books on actual accounts with photos and have become much more educated on the true history. Cedric shared even more light on the topic adding other pieces of factual information about the 1898 Riot as well as the Wilmington 10. With all of that he discussed the resiliency of the black community in Wilmington and some of the positive contributions this community made to Wilmington. Seeing the places and the neighborhood where all of this happened and happens added even more reality to this neglected part of U.S., North Carolina, and Wilmington history. Cedric is the man with his personality, commitment, honesty, humor, and passion to be the ideal person to share this important part of all of our history. The important thing now is what can we all do to use this learning to make our country a more loving, caring, and accepting community of diverse people."

"A fantastic tour that every visitor to Wilmington should take. Cedric was a great guide, who explained well the important legacies of Wilmington‘s black community, both the many struggles and the rich contributions."

"This is an amazing tour and experience. Cedric is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Wilmington and seeing landmarks in person was a powerful experience. Cedric does a great job telling the real truth about what people of color endured in Wilmington. We didn't learn any of this in our school history classes. The bus is so cool too!"

"Incredibly powerful experience; highly recommend to anyone looking to learn more about Wilmington's history. Cedric does an extraordinary job telling our City's past, with meaning and impact."
