From Slavery to Freedom Film Series: "American Coup: Wilmington 1898"
2025-06-17 17:30 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Heinz History Center, 1212 Smallman St, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222, United States
Presented as part of the From Slavery to Freedom Film Series, “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. Black residents were murdered and thousands were banished. 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.
Following the screening, award-winning documentarian and director of “American Coup: Wilmington 1898,” Yoruba Richen will discuss the film. An award-winning filmmaker, Richen’s work has been featured on multiple outlets, including Netflix, MSNBC, FX, HBO, The Atlantic, and Field of Vision.
This program is part of Civic Season a nationwide initiative presented in partnership with the Smithsonian and the History Made By Us coalition.
Civic Season is a key component of the History Center’s America 101 initiative, supported by the Nimick Forbesway Foundation and The Grable Foundation. America 101 is designed to engage the public in learning more about American history and civics through public programs, exhibitions, digital tools, and educational curriculum.

2025-06-21 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | American Bookbinders Museum, United States
As part of the HBC’s 53rd Annual Members’ Exhibition, book artists were given a unique opportunity to create original works using sections of a donated Gilbert Baker Rainbow Flag that once flew over Harvey Milk Plaza in San Francisco’s historic Castro district in which the flag was first created.
Slippery, synthetic, and stubborn, the fabric resisted precision—fraying, warping, and pushing back at every turn. Much like the queer identities and experiences it represents, it demanded care, patience, and persistence.
Join us for a panel discussion exploring the resulting works: a spectrum of interpretations that reflect the challenges, beauty, and meaning embedded in the flag and the hands that shaped it. Meet some of the artists, learn about their processes, and hear about some of the challenges they encountered turning their vision into a book.
