The Wilmington 10 were 10 civil rights workers in Wilmington, NC, whom were railroaded into a false conviction of killing a white grocery store owner. In 1980, a federal court overturned their conviction, but they were never pardoned. People have been working for a few years to obtain a pardon for the Wilmington 10 and NC Governor Bev Perdue just signed one! This will be unpopular with people who are too rigid and racist to ever admit mistakes are made. I want people to thank Governor Perdue for being brave enough, and just enough, to issue these pardons.
