Wilmington, North Carolina once had a thriving Black middle class and an elected interracial government. In 1898 white supremacists used violence to overthrow that government, kill Black residents and drive many others from the city.

The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (Nepali: नेपाल कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी (माओवादी)) is a political party in Nepal led by Netra Bikram Chand ("Biplav").[1] It was formed in 2014 from a split in the Communist Party of Nepal (Revolutionary Maoist), and was originally known as just the Communist Party of Nepal.[2] The party registered with the election commission under its current name on 18 November 2025.[3][4] The party's election symbol is the rose.[5]
In 2012, a faction of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) led by Mohan Baidya broke from the party and formed the Communist Party of Nepal (Revolutionary Maoist). Baidya himself faced a split in 2014, when a party faction led by Netra Bikram Chand (better known as "Biplav") splintered off and formed the Communist Party of Nepal, releasing a statement which read in part: "The Maoist revolt had grossly perverted by the time it arrived in Kathmandu from Rolpa. It is not possible to unite with the party that has strayed from the Maoist ideology."[6]
Biplav's party supported the Nepalese government's efforts against India's 2015–16 blockade of Nepal, but has otherwise been critical of Kathmandu due to the party's marginalization from media and absence from parliament. Party cadres have targeted cellphone towers of Ncell, causing disruptions in service in Dang District, and have shut down commercial traffic.[7]
The party has led numerous strikes since its foundation.[8] It called for a nationwide, peaceful protest against a bilateral agreement between India and China over the Lipulekh Pass,[when?] which Nepal also claims. However, the party's calls were ignored.[citation needed]
The party registered with Nepal's election commission as the "Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)" on 18 November 2025.[9]

Netra Bikram Chand (Nepali: नेत्रविक्रम चन्द), known as Biplav C (विप्लव सी), is a Nepalese communist politician and rebellion leader. He's the chairman of Communist Party Nepal.
The Nepali Communist Party (NCP) is a Marxist-Leninist party in Nepal. A unity conference was held on 5 November 2025, at Bhrikutimandap which declared the party's formation through a merger of ten leftist parties and groups. The merger includes the CPN (Maoist Centre), CPN (Unified Socialist), Jana Samajbadi Party, Nepal Samajbadi Party, the Biplav-split CPN, CPN Samajbadi, CPN (Maoist Samajbadi), CPN (Samyabadi), and the Deshbhakta Samajbadi Morcha led by Gopal Kiranti. The unification was completed by the Party Unification Coordination Committee after a month of negotiation. The two major predecessor parties subsequently dissolved, making way for the new united party. The party adopted a star as their electoral symbol. Upon creation, the party is the largest political party in the National Assembly and largest communist party in the provincial assemblies of Bagmati, Karnali and Sudurpashchim Provinces. Former prime minister of Nepal Pushpa Kamal Dahal serves as coordinator and Madhav Kumar Nepal serves as the joint coordinator of the party while former prime minister Jhala Nath Khanal remains on third rank.
The Socialist Front (Nepali: समाजवादी मोर्चा, romanized: Samajbadi Morcha) was a political alliance of leftist political parties in Nepal. It was formed in 2023 by the CPN (Maoist Centre), CPN (Unified Socialist), the People's Socialist Party, Nepal and the Communist Party of Nepal led by Biplav.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
