Our annual Spring Break Out program takes place the week of March 24 through the 28th. We will invite youth and their families to participate in free workshops focused on community education, art and civic engagement.

Wednesday, March 27 from 11am to 3pm:

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 — the only coup d’état in the history of the US. 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. The story of what happened in Wilmington was suppressed for decades until descendants and scholars began to investigate. Today, many of those descendants — Black and white — seek the truth about this intentionally buried history.

Please RSVP via Eventbrite for the film screening!
