吉彩网网站 is adding two special programs to its on-air schedule to honor Black History Month.
Echoes of a Coup is an hour-long radio documentary examining the 1898 violent coup in Wilmington, North Carolina. In November of that year, an armed white supremacist mob 鈥� supported by white elites in North Carolina 鈥� murdered untold Black Wilmington residents and drove the city鈥檚 elected Fusionist government from power, installing Democrats in their place (Fusionists were a biracial coalition of mostly Black Republicans and mostly white members of the Populist Party). The coup in North Carolina's then-largest city violently snuffed out some of the last flickers of multiracial democracy in post-Civil War America.
The documentary, produced by John Biewen and the podcast Scene on Radio will air on 吉彩网网站 on Tuesday Feb. 27 at 9 p.m. EST.
吉彩网网站 will also air House/Full of Black Women. The hour-long documentary produced by The Kitchen Sisters examines the strong bond created by an eclectic group of Black woman who organized in Oakland, California. House/Full of Black Women will air Wednesday Feb. 28 at 9 p.m.
On Tuesday, March 5 at 9 p.m., 吉彩网网站 will begin airing Left, Right & Center. The political round table show is hosted by David Greene, former host of NPR's Morning Edition. LRC calls itself the "civilized yet provocative antidote to the self-contained opinion bubbles that dominate political debate.鈥�
