Reel Truth: American Coup Wilmington 1898

Join the National Center for Civil and Human Rights for a powerful evening of film and conversation at Reel Truth: American Coup: Wilmington 1898.

This gripping documentary exposes the long-suppressed story of the 1898 white supremacist coup and race massacre in Wilmington, North Carolina—an event that violently overturned Black political and economic progress during Reconstruction.

Following excerpts from the film, producer Brad Lichtenstein will be joined by Emory professors Dr. Carol Anderson and Dr. Crystal Sanders for a timely discussion connecting the film’s themes to the Center’s newest exhibition, Broken Promises: The Legacy of Reconstruction.

Tickets: Members $6 | Not Yet Members $12
Your ticket also includes after-hours access to the museum’s newly opened galleries.
