Last week I noticed CWJ was not on at its normal time (Tuesday 7AM est) Anyone know if they changed the time or did the History Channel drop it?

Douglass and Lincoln: How a Revolutionary Black Leader and a Reluctant Liberator Struggled to End Slavery and Save the Union

Saturday, May 3, at 9:00 PM
Sunday, May 4, at 3:15 AM
Monday, May 12, at 4:00 AM

Paul and Stephen Kendrick recount the relationship between Fredrick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. The authors present President Lincoln as a reluctant abolitionist whose three meetings with Douglass from 1863 to 1865 and further reading of Douglass' writings encouraged Lincoln to believe that the Civil War could not be won without emancipation. Paul and Stephen Kendrick discuss their book at the Multicultural Student Services Center at George Washington University in Washington, DC.

[Note: This has nothing to do with the Lincoln-Douglas debates. ]

Don't know how many of you guys watched the special on the manhunt for John Wilkes Booth on the History Channel, but I must say that I was extremely disappointed. Too many factual errors (such as Dr. Mudd being incarcerated six years) and other very glaring errors. It was interesting, but there were just too many mistakes for my taste.

The History Channel has a recent history of being disappointing.
