We had a great meeting today of the Board of Advisors for the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area. the TCWNHA has been reauthorized and refunded through the next fiscal year. Dr. Van West, State Historian and Director of the TCWNHA, and the staff at the MTSU Center for Historic Preservation are doing a great job in dealing with Civil War and Reconstruction issues. We, as a board, agreed to fund the first in a new series of WNPT documentary videos on the Reconstruction era and the moving of former slaves to real citizenship. The newest video is on the rise of black newspapers during Reconstruction and how it facilitated black citizenship.

A couple months ago I posted a link to the first WNPT video in the Reconstruction series on rthe first black statesman called Tennessee's Self Made Men. This series of videos may be even better than the ones done on the war itself.
