"Our Kind of People" shot in Wilmington in 2020 and 2021 and premiered during the fall of last year.
Based on Lawrence Otis Graham's 1999 book "Our Kind of People: Inside America's Black Upper Class," it starred DaCosta as a woman with a hardscrabble Boston upbringing who was on a mission to break into the Black elite by moving to the tony beach town of Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard.
Many Wilmington locations were featured on the show, including Fort Fisher, the Wilmington International Airport, the old firehouse at Fifth Avenue and Castle Street, the Carolina Apartments, the Coastline Convention Center and the Cape Fear Country Club.
