A quick backstory...
Set in Wilmington, North Carolina, November 10th is a powerful historical novel that breathes life into a community shattered by racial violence, and the family bonds that try to hold it together through it all. Inspired by the true events of the Wilmington Massacre of 1898, this audiobook brings listeners deep into the lives of the Black residents who built businesses, schools, and dreams—only to see them threatened by white supremacist mobs intent on seizing power and rewriting history.
At the heart of the story is the McKoy family. Charles Sr., a proud businessman and father, works tirelessly to protect his family and their legacy. Through his eyes, and those of his children, and community members, we witness the deep love, fear, resilience, and hope that defined Black life during one of the most volatile times in American history.

Meet the McKoys
The McKoy family has just returned to Wilmington after several years in Boston. John Robert, a passionate journalist, hopes to use his writing to speak truth and empower the local Black community. His wife, Henrietta, is a dedicated teacher, eager to rejoin the classroom and pour into the next generation. Their children, Samuel and Amelia, are adjusting to life in the South, full of questions and curiosity. Together, the McKoys represent a family anchored in purpose, education, and quiet resistance during a time of growing unrest..
