PBS documentary bringing the history of Wilmington's coup and massacre to a broader audience

Hannah Markov

Over the last decade, the 1898 coup and massacre have become more openly discussed and memorialized in the Wilmington area — but outside of the Cape Fear region the history is less well known. One hundred and twenty six years after the coup, on November 12, American Experience and PBS North Carolina will be telling the story to a much wider audience. The episode, premiering as part of the network’s long running documentary series, explores the events leading up to, during and after the 1898 Wilmington Massacre.
