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.

A content management system (CMS) is a computer software used to create, manage, modify, and publish digital content (content management).[1][2][3] It is commonly used for enterprise content management (ECM), which integrates functions such as document management, digital asset management, and records retention for collaborative use within organizations.[4][5] It is also used for web content management (WCM), which enables the collaborative creation and maintenance of websites containing text, images, video, audio, maps, and other digital media.[6][7]
A CMS typically has two major components: a content management application (CMA), as the front-end user interface that allows a user, even with limited expertise, to add, modify, and remove content from a website without the intervention of a webmaster; and a content delivery application (CDA), which compiles the content and updates the website.[8]
There are two types of CMS installation: on-premises and cloud-based. On-premises installation means that the CMS software can be installed on the server. Notable CMSs which can be installed on-premises are Drupal, Grav, Joomla, ModX, Wordpress.org and others. The cloud-based CMS is hosted in the vendor's cloud environment.
Cloud-based content management systems abstract infrastructure management from the content management application. In platforms such as WordPress.com, the CMS is delivered as a managed service in which server provisioning, operating system maintenance, application updates, backups, and security are integrated into the hosting environment, eliminating the need for users to administer the underlying software stack.[9]
Publishing architectures vary significantly between systems. Traditional coupled CMSs tie the content repository to a single presentation layer, suiting organisations publishing to one channel. Headless CMSs separate the repository from presentation entirely, delivering content via APIs to websites, mobile applications, digital signage, or voice interfaces from a single source, an approach that has grown rapidly alongside the proliferation of digital touchpoints.[10] Authoring environments typically enforce structured workflows in which content passes through defined review and approval stages before publication, with role-based permissions controlling what each user can create, edit, or publish.
Content management systems may be categorized according to how content is stored and delivered. Traditional (or coupled) CMSs integrate content authoring, storage, and presentation into a single application, with content typically published directly to a website managed by the CMS. In contrast, decoupled CMSs separate the content management back end from the presentation layer while still providing a dedicated publishing environment. Headless CMSs remove the presentation layer entirely, exposing content through application programming interfaces (APIs) such as REST or GraphQLfor delivery to websites, mobile applications, digital signage, and other digital channels.[11]
Many content management systems organize information using structured content models rather than treating pages solely as free-form documents. A content model defines reusable content types, such as articles, products, events, or authors, each consisting of predefined fields and metadata. Structured content enables information to be reused consistently across websites, mobile applications, search services, and other digital platforms, while facilitating automation, personalization, and omnichannel publishing.[12]
The core CMS features are: indexing, search and retrieval, format management, revision control and management.[4] Features may vary depending on the system application but will typically include:[4]
Popular additional features may include:[4]
Digital asset management systems are another type of CMS. They manage content with clearly defined author or ownership, such as documents, movies, pictures, phone numbers, and scientific data. Companies also use CMSs to store, control, revise, and publish documentation. There are also component content management systems (CCMS), which are CMSs that manage content at a modular level rather than as pages or articles. CCMSs are often used in technical communication, where many publications reuse the same content. Headless CMS, which separates content from its delivery layer, offers greater flexibility in content distribution across various platforms.[13]
According to W3Techs, the most widely used content management system is WordPress, used by 61.7% of websites as of March 2026. Other commonly used content management systems include Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace.[14]
In a document, especially those authored in a content management system, a cross-reference has two major aspects:
The visible form contains text, graphics, and other indications that:
The technical mechanism that resides within the system:
If the cross-reference mechanism is well designed, the reader will be able to follow each cross-reference to the referenced content whether the content is presented in print or electronically.
An author working in a content management system is responsible for identifying subjects of interest that cross documents, and creating appropriate systems of cross-references to support readers who seek to understand those subjects.[15] For an individual cross-reference, an author should ensure that location and content of the target of the cross-reference are clearly identified, and the reader can easily determine how to follow the cross-reference in each medium in which publication is supported.
Content strategy practitioners (known as content strategists) specialize in planning content to meet business needs, taking into account the processes for creating and maintaining the content, and the systems that support the content.

Bolt is a free, open-source content management system based on PHP. It was released in 2012 and developed by Two Kings and the Bolt community. Bolt uses Twig for templates and includes features for content and user management. Bolt can be installed on any Apache or nginx web server with SQLite, MySQL or MariaDB and PHP 7.2.9 or later.
A web content management system (WCM or WCMS) is a software content management system (CMS) specifically for web content. It provides website authoring, collaboration, and administration tools that help users with little knowledge of web programming languages or markup languages create and manage website content. A WCMS provides the foundation for collaboration, providing users the ability to manage documents and output for multiple author editing and participation. Most systems use a content repository or a database to store page content, metadata, and other information assets the system needs. A presentation layer (template engine) displays the content to website visitors based on a set of templates, which are sometimes XSLT files. Most systems use server side caching to improve performance. This works best when the WCMS is not changed often but visits happen frequently. Administration is also typically done through browser-based interfaces, but some systems require the use of a fat client.
A component content management system (CCMS) is a content management system that manages content at a granular level (component) rather than at the document level. Each component represents a single topic, concept or asset (for example an image, table, product description, a procedure).
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.
