The five ninety-minute episodes focus on key events in American Indian history from the 1620s to the 1973s. A number of libraries across the country are organizing events related to the television series. Here in Austin, the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum is hosting two public screening events on 4 and 11 May. I will be moderating the public discussion at the 4 May screening. I am also serving on the national advisory board for the television series. I am available to provide local public libraries with free public programming related to the series. Such a program might include viewing trailers for the series, hosting book discussions, or group discussions around topics related to the series. Dates I am available are: April 13, April 14, April 15, April 20, the week of April 27, and May 1-6. Librarians may contact me via email.
