Join Maryland Public Television at Coppin State University for a light reception, screening, and discussion of American Coup: Wilmington 1898.
About the American Experience program:
American Coup: Wilmington 1898 tells the little-known story of a deadly race massacre and carefully orchestrated insurrection in North Carolina’s largest city in 1898. Stoking fears of “Negro Rule,” self-described white supremacists used intimidation and violence to destroy Black political and economic power and overthrow Wilmington’s democratically-elected, multi-racial government. |
