Telling Untold Stories A

t GBH, we are committed to telling stories that people don’t know — but that they should. On Nov. 12, we’re premiering an important new film from AMERICAN EXPERIENCE, directed by Yoruba Richen and Brad Lichtenstein, about a time when a state election did not end peacefully, right here in the United States. American Coup: Wilmington 1898 explores a bloody coup that happened in 1898, in Wilmington, N.C. (See cover story on page 13). During the self-identified “Campaign for White Supremacy,” scores of Black people were killed so that White residents could regain political power. For decades, the incident was deeply buried — covered up or little discussed — and most people still don’t know about it. The filmmakers interviewed descendants of both White insurrectionists and Black victims, all of whom shared their families’ often painful stories. “It’s one thing to read the history, but reading those

personal accounts was very, very powerful and we knew that could help bring life to the story,” said Richen.

I’m always struck by how much all of us can understand current events if we have the perspective of history, and this documentary does that. As I journalist, I also appreciated the prominent role that a newspaper of the time, The Daily Record, and its editor, Alex Manly, played in reporting the truth about the insurrection. Manly, who was Black, was forced to flee for his life because of his reporting. “Ultimately what this story is about is the fragility of democracy,” historian Carol Anderson says in the film. “Even though this happened over 126 years ago, it’s as relevant in this moment as it has ever been.” I hope you’ll watch American Coup.

Before I sign off, I want to publicly extend my thanks to Rebecca Eaton as she retires from over 50 years of service and commitment to MASTERPIECE where she served as executive producer from 1985–2019.

During her tenure, MASTERPIECE earned 62 Primetime Emmy Awards, 16 Peabody Awards, six Golden Globes, and two Academy Award nominations. She was instrumental in securing the production of Downton Abbey, GBH’s most popular series since Upstairs, Downstairs. I am sure you will agree that GBH’s drama series has provided endless hours of entertainment and escape. Thank you, Rebecca, for your decades bringing such joy to millions of viewers each week.

COVER STORY

American Coup: Wilmington 1898 Tue (11/12) at 9pm on GBH 2 Repeats: Fri (11/15) at 8pm on GBH WORLD Fri (11/15) at 9pm on GBH 44

I

n the 1890s, the coastal community of Wilmington, North Carolina had become the example of the promise of Reconstruction, with jobs for both skilled and unskilled Black laborers, as well as professional opportunities for Black doctors, teachers, and lawyers. Black people owned property and held public office, including a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. But on November 10, 1898, the tinderbox

upon which this community had grown, exploded in the form of an insurrection and a deadly race massacre. An election was subverted, lawmakers from the multiracial “Fusion” government were forced out of office at gunpoint, thousands of residents were exiled from town, and dozens of others were murdered in the so-called “Campaign for White Supremacy,” the only coup d’état in U.S. history. And among the most shocking parts of this story is the way the events were deliberately hidden from future generations, including descendants of those intimately involved.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE, in association with PBS North Carolina, has taken on the task of revealing these events

Uncovering a Story of American Insurrection

and their impact in American Coup: Wilmington 1898.

Brad Lichtenstein (top) and Yoruba Richen, who each have a long history of making films about racial justice, directed this documentary. “It’s a story that has been buried for so long. What really struck me was that right after the coup and massacre, it was sung from the hilltops about how proud they were about what they had done. Then, only a few years later it was whitewashed and eventually erased,” said Richen.

The firsthand accounts found in newspapers, books, and personal letters from both the insurrectionists and those affected added important voices, but a unique part of this documentary is hearing directly from the descendants. Lichtenstein noted, “It was like doing an investigative documentary about history that took place 126 years ago. The story was buried even in their own families.” He had the opportunity to

attend one of Wilmington’s commemoration events, where organizers have worked hard to open up dialogue about their history. “There are plenty of people who completely deny any relationship to the past even though their family lineage was there. Many years later, it still is a hurdle, something that feels taboo to be open and honest and accountable about,” he added. In the end, Richen and Lichtenstein were able to form connections with a number of descendants, both White and Black, who were willing to speak in the film.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE is committed to telling stories from the past that help impact viewers’ understanding of the present and future. “I think viewers will find the facts of the story so surprising but then also see the echoes of today, with ongoing threats to our democracy,” said Richen. “This is something we have been grappling with as a country since the beginning.”

“We’ve come to rely on public media to be the place that is willing to set aside the risks of putting a story out, knowing that it might engender conversations that are heated. In fact, they embrace that,” said Lichtenstein. “In commercial media, there’s almost no room for stories like American Coup.”

Connecting the Commonwealth T

stories

he need for trusted local journalism is greater than ever, and public media is delivering news that gets straight to the heart of the issues that communities care about. To better serve audiences across Massachusetts, a partnership between GBH News, CAI, and New England Public Media (NEPM) has expanded news coverage statewide, from Provincetown to Pittsfield, and points between. Under the leadership of Jennifer Moore, GBH’s first statewide & features editor, Connecting the Commonwealth weaves regional and local reporting across all three media outlets’ digital and broadcast platforms, from breaking news to in-depth human interest stories.

“There’s an immense need for local journalism on issues that matter to Massachusetts residents. Through our relationships with NEPM and CAI, we are partnering to create content of interest to all of the state’s 7 million residents, something few media outlets in Massachusetts can do,” said Dan Lothian, editor-in-chief of GBH News and The World.

Find Connecting the Commonwealth stories on GBH (89.7, gbhnews.org, and the GBH News YouTube channel), NEPM (NEPM 88.5 and nepm.org), and CAI (90.1, 91.1, 94.3, and capeandislands.org)

Meet Jennifer Moore J

ennifer Moore, GBH News’s statewide & features editor, is now leading the Connecting the Commonwealth initiative.

A graduate of the University of Missouri, Moore spent five years in the Persian Gulf region as a freelance journalist. She has also served as the news director at the NPR and PBS stations in the Missouri Ozarks and as a freelancer for The New York Times. Her reporting has earned multiple awards including the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award.

ordon Miller has spent 40 years, some 15,000 hours, as a lifeguard on Cape Cod. He first climbed the stand in 1984 at age 23 and now oversees 20 lifeguards across three beaches at Cape Cod National Seashore.

Miller told CAI’s Eve Zuckoff that his life changed when he saw the ocean for the first time.

He was 19 years old.

“There was a little knot behind my head that released that summer...

It was almost a cellular connection.”

He says his master’s degree in philosophy has been put to good use during the many hours in the lifeguard chair. He thinks a lot about the world around him—how sea creatures find ways to thrive, how climate change has reshaped the coast, and how to be a role model for beachgoers.

Miller’s story is not done yet. He plans to return to Cape Cod next May for his 41st season.
