Hi Gang,
I just read about this on a Yahoo list - some here might want to catch this show.  I've seen past episodes and they do a very nice job on it.
The PBS show 'History Detectives' talking about the short-lived comic title, Negro Romance!
Tune in this Tuesday (July 12th) at 8pm EST/ 7pm CT.

If you watch it let us know what you thought of it here.

The promo I'm seeing in my area doesn't mention the comic, but it does mention some Civil War stuff, so I'm going to watch regardless...thanks for the heads up.

Thanks Yoc, that was cool! I was unduly excited by the segment. They showed the Unknown Soldier like three times, once with Captain Courageous! Weird.

PBS has more info here:
