American Coup: Wilmington 1898
Tuesday, November 12, 2024, 8 PM

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'etat 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. Dozens of 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.

Lidia Celebrates America: Changemakers
Tuesday, November 26, 2024, 8 PM

Celebrity Chef Lidia Bastianich was born in Pula, a small city on the southern tip of the Istrian Peninsula. While she grew up in a poor community where food was scarce, when it came to cooking, and eating, she and her neighbors demonstrated a remarkable spirit of ingenuity. Resourcefulness remains a fundamental part of who Lidia is today, a chef bolstered by the belief that food is increasingly being wasted, and increasingly scarce. With this in mind, LIDIA CELEBRATES AMERICA will follow Lidia on her 13th journey across America - this time meeting up with chefs, farmers, and artisans who are all actively trying to rechart what the future of food could look like.
