In that weekend of violence, one middle-aged white man and one black youth were killed before National Guardsmen restored order. More than a year later, Chavis and his followers, eight of them high school students, were indicted for conspiracy and unlawful burning. "None of us had anything to do with it," Chavis told TIME'S Jay Rosenstein on the eve of the new hearing. "My role in Wilmington...
