RALEIGH, N.C. - The home of a former North Carolina newspaper publisher who helped orchestrate an 1898 riot in which at least 60 Blacks were killed was removed Tuesday from a list of local historic landmarks.
The Raleigh City Council voted unanimously to strip the home of Josephus Daniels of the local designation, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported.
The change is one of several from the last year as organizations look to separate themselves from Daniels. The home sits on about 4 acres (1.6 hectares) west of downtown Raleigh and Wake County land records show the property is worth $4.1 million.
