American Coup: Wilmington 1898 Screening and Panel Discussion

It is the only coup d’état in the history of the United States.

There will be a Q&A session following the screening, featuring Associate Professor Trevy McDonald, an expert on the history and impact of N.C. Black press.

The event is presented in partnership with the UNC student chapter of the National Press Photographers Association.
