Students, faculty, helping professionals, educators and community members are encouraged to attend. We cannot move forward until we are honest about where we have been.

• Video Performance: Experience The Invisibility Project’s powerful dance and spoken word performance that conveys the emotional narrative of Wilmington’s history in the wake of the 1898 coup d’état and massacre.
