This episode of In The Water was filmed at the headquarters of the Cucalorus Film Festival in Wilmington. Before the insurrection, Wilmington was considered to be one of the South’s great examples of a city coming together in Reconstruction. The tragic events of that year saw a white supremacist mob take over the city of Wilmington, burn and destroy African American-owned businesses and take an untold number of African American lives. Giddens’ In The Water session follows performances from The Mountain Goats, Mary Lattimore and Vanessa Ferguson at unique and meaningful locations throughout the state.įor Rhiannon’s In The Water session, the Greensboro native took the Come Hear North Carolina team across the state to Wilmington – to share the too-often-forgotten history of the Wilmington insurrection of 1898. Giddens also received the inaugural Legacy of Americana Award at the Americana Honors and Awards in Nashville this year, was featured prominently in Ken Burns’ Country Music documentary series and is a current Grammy nominee in the Best American Roots Performance category for her collaboration with the Italian multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi, as well as in the Best American Roots Song category for her work in the group Our Native Daughters.
