This weekend on C-SPAN3 we have one new WWI presentation and a couple of repeats from last weekend. All times are Central.

PBS will again air the American Experience documentary, The Great War, beginning on June 19th. The three part series will then air in successive weeks on June 26th and July 3rd. For stations serving Kansas, the series will be broadcast from 8:00 p.m. to 10 p.m. Central, with the exception of KOOD, which will air it from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Readers outside of Kansas should check their local PBS stations’ schedules.

This weekend on C-SPAN3 some new programs are offered about the World War I experiences of some noted World War II figures. These three programs were part of a symposium held by the MacArthur Memorial at Norfolk, Virginia. That probably gives you a clue as to one of the three figures discussed!
100 years ago in Kansas, June 10 – 13, 1918.
June 10, 1918.
-A “yellow-paint squad” at Potter daubed all buildings in which one of its residents had an interest. Included were an elevator, residence, garage and bank. The owner was charged with hoarding flour, retarding Liberty bond and Red Cross drives, and consorting with “off-colored persons.”
Well — we have only two films that we can see on TCM this month. Both are films that often run on TCM, often enough that you can probably guess what they are. We’ll even give you time to guess:
Made your guesses? OK, first up is a film that should have you humming “Over There” at the end. That’s right, it’s the biopic of George M. Cohan, Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942). It airs at 7:00 p.m. on June 14, presumably because it’s Flag Day. It stars James Cagney, Joan Leslie, and Walter Huston.
Sorry for the late posting. After the collection of WWI programming last week, we’re reduced to three this weekend, all repeats . As usual, all times are Central, and we ‘re not responsible for schedule changes at C-SPAN.
That last statement is important, as when we posted last week, C-SPAN3 later added additional WWI programs to the schedule.
100 years ago in Kansas June 4 – 9, 1918.
June 4, 1918.
-Louis B. Leach, president of the Wamego State Bank, was removed by the State Bank commissioner, charged with declining subscriptions to Liberty Loan and Red Cross drives and encouraging his son-in-law to evade the draft.
C-SPAN3 has made sure that it did take note of World War I programming for the Memorial Day weekend, and some of it will be repeated a few times. A reminder that all times posted here are Central, and we’re not responsible for schedule changes.
