This looks like an interesting program that will aired throughout the
country on various NPR stations.

I am a producer at WAMU-FM, the public radio station here in
Washington.

This e-mail is going out to historians around the country to you know
about a program we have produced that we think will be of interest to
you. It is called "A Small Southern Town: The Nation's Capital In
Slave Times" and it offers the first-person accounts of people who
lived in slavery; the voices of those who worked to end slavery and
those who strove to keep it in Washington, DC.

The show will tell of one DC family's role in one of the largest
mass-escapes of slaves in American history. We will recreate a
debate in the House Of Representatives as northern Congressmen try to
end Congress's self-imposed ban petitions discussing slavery. And
you will learn the surprising, real location in the Washington area of
one of the most famous houses in American literature, Uncle Tom's
Cabin.

This special is scheduled to air Feb. 17 and 18 at 8:00 pm.

I hope you will get to listen to it.
