A fact from Clarence W. Wigington appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 October 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:
should the "North Carolina State University at Durham," be "North Carolina Central University" or one of its earlier incarnations? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.72.83.186 (talk) 13:44, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wigington did not found the Home Guards of Minnesota[edit]
Note: This is my first effort at changing a Wikipedia entry. I didn't feel comfortable just editing the text, so I'm providing the following information.
The article is incorrect when it says that Wigington "founded the Home Guards of Minnesota, an all-black militia established in 1918." There were Home Guard units throughout Minnesota (and other states) during WWI, citizen militias formed to protect cities and towns. The "Engines of Our Ingenuity" episode cited as the source for the Wikipedia entry says "...just after America entered WW-I, Wigington petitioned the Governor of Minnesota to form a black battalion of the Minnesota Home Guard." It does not say he founded the Home Guard, or that the Home Guard was an all-black militia. Also, if it was just after America entered WWI, it would likely have been in 1917, not 1918. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuflans (talk • contribs) 21:50, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
