Hi John, [link removed] [[link removed]]
I'm excited to invite you to a special multi-part event hosted by WAVE Educational Fund: a screening and discussion of American Coup: Wilmington 1898 . This powerful film uncovers a pivotal moment in our nation’s past that has been deliberately erased, yet continues to shape our present.
[[link removed]] I hope you’ll join us as we explore the legacy of racial violence and white supremacy — and how these forces still show up in our politics and public safety systems today. [[link removed]]
The documentary tells the little-known story of the only coup d’état in the history of the US. Self-described white supremacists used intimidation and violence to destroy Black political and economic power and overthrow Wilmington’s democratically-elected, multi-racial government.

Here’s how it works
When you sign up, you’ll receive:
✅ A private link on August 5th to stream the film on your own time (available for one week)
✅ A link to join a live group viewing and panel discussion on Zoom on August 13th
The August 13th event will include an opportunity to view the film together, beginning at 5:15 p.m . If you watched the film with the link you received earlier, you can join us later, at 7:00 p.m., for a panel discussion [[link removed]] that reflects on what the documentary tells us about democracy, race and power today.
Whether you prefer to watch on your own or experience it with others, we’ll be creating space for learning, growth and conversation.
Sign me up! [[link removed]]
We believe understanding the past is essential to building a safer, more just future. We hope you’ll take part in this important event.
With gratitude,
Nick Matuszewski
Associate Executive Director
