Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Zucchino details how an angry mob of white supremacist overthrew the local multi-racial government of Wilmington, North Carolina in 1898. He tells CBS This Morning Saturday co-host Michelle Miller how the riot, helped by a campaign of misinformation, had a lasting impact on the community. Zucchino tells of the much forgotten insurrection in his book 'Wilmington's Lie: The Murderous Coup of 1898 and the Rise of White Supremacy."
