 * I would just like to say to people that the references section should be one of the last sections in the article, and section headers shouldn't be written in nearly all-highercase letters thankyou - whoever made the article look like a pig's breakfast in doing do. ;-)  Lra drama 18:45, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I think this article would be of great use for contextualizing these events. There was a lot of lead-up that explains why things happened the way they did. https://www.ourstate.com/the-1970s-the-wilmington-10/ 174.108.252.203 (talk) 21:42, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

( copied here from the article at 07:15, 21 February 2008 (UTC) ) I was an organizer on these cases for the North Carolina Political Prisoners Committee. I can get the needed references and will do so as soon as I can get to it. There is a lot left out of this article about the real circumstances around the arrests and what was going on in Wilmington and how all of this was related to CointelPro. It is documented through the FOIA records. Ben was employed by the United Church of Christ Commission on Racial Justice, as a sort of home missionary. Anne Shepard was white, a member of the B'hai faith. -- Pamela Jean Owens —Preceding unsigned comment added by PamelaJean (talk • contribs)

I think the statement added today about the pardon from Governor Perdue could be expanded to explain her three options, do nothing, a pardon of forgiveness or a pardon of innocence. She granted a pardon of innocence. 107.15.251.189 (talk) 21:49, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
