Join Nashville PBS host Jerome Moore for a taping of A Slice of the Community featuring clips from The American Revolution, a documentary series from Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt. Moore’s guests will be Dr. Amy Sayward, director of the American Democracy Project at Middle Tennessee State University, and Dr. Learotha Williams Jr., professor of African American and public history at Tennessee State University. The speakers will share insights on Southern life during the Revolution, and everyone will be encouraged to reflect on what it means to be an American 250 years later.
This event is free, but reservations are required. Food will be provided by Five Points Pizza, Slice‘s official pizza sponsor.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. The taping begins promptly at 6:45 p.m.
The American Revolution is a six-part, twelve-hour series on America’s founding struggle, will present the story of the men and women of the Revolutionary generation, their humanity in victory and defeat, and the crisis that they lived through. By weaving together accounts of American political leaders and their British counterparts with the perspectives of the so-called ordinary people who waged and witnessed war, The American Revolution will be an expansive, evenhanded look at the virtues and the contradictions in the fight for independence and the birth of the United States.
