Morrison Secretary Janet M. Botz Directors Kathryn Demarais Robert G. Douglass Irene E. Eskridge The Roman god Janus aptly lends his name to our month of January since the god of doors and David D. Gibson entrances was typically portrayed as having two heads, one looking behind to the past and one looking William A. Gitlin forward to the future. Similarly, the beginning of a new year is a good time for WNIT to reflect on Tracy D. Graham where we’ve been and project where we are going. Larry D. Harding It was just one year ago that WNIT re-designated its channels, making 34.1 our primary channel and James W. Hillman WNIT InFocus 34.2 our secondary. Now that a year has passed and the dust has settled, this would be Najeeb A. Khan an opportune time to review the WNIT channel designations over a variety of venues. Viewers who Glenn E.

UNDERGROUND RAILROAD: THE WILLIAM STILL STORY Monday, February 6, 10pm Extraordinary people risked their lives to help fugitive slaves escape via the clandestine Underground Railroad. Among them was William Still of Philadelphia, a free black man who accepted delivery of transported crates containing “human cargo.” This documentary reveals some of the dramatic, lesser-known stories behind this humanitarian enterprise, and explores key Canadian connections, including the surprising fate of former slaves who crossed the border to “Freedom’s Land.” FREEDOM RIDERS: AMERICAN EXPERIENCE Tuesday, February 7, 8pm In 1961, segregation seemed to have an overwhelming grip on American society until an integrated band of college students decided to risk everything and buy a ticket on a Greyhound bus bound for the Deep South. They called themselves the Freedom Riders, and they managed to bring the president and the entire American public face-to-face with the challenge of correcting civil-rights inequities that plagued the nation. SLAVERY BY ANOTHER NAME Monday, February 13, 9pm This documentary explores the little-known story of the post-Emancipation era and the labor practices and laws that effectively created a new form of slavery in the South that persisted well into the 20th century. Blackmon examines the concept of “neoslavery,” which sentenced African-Americans to forced labor for violating an array of laws that criminalized their everyday behavior. THE POWER OF 100: THE HISTORY OF 100 BLACK MEN OF SOUTH BEND Monday, February 13, 10:30pm and Thursday, February 23, 9pm and Saturday, February 25, 5pm (34.1 only) WNIT’s documentary THE POWER OF 100: THE STORY OF THE 100 BLACK MEN OF SOUTH BEND follows the creation of the South Bend chapter of the 100 Black Men of America. Many of the children featured in the documentary are raised by single moms while drugs, gangs, bad influences, all vie for their kids’ attention. That’s where the “100” comes in. These stand-out citizens from South Bend have had great successes in their lives and many of them overcame the same situations as the students they mentor. AMERICAN MASTERS “Cab Calloway: Sketches” Monday, February 27, 10pm “Minnie the Moocher,” with its popular refrain “Hi de hi de hi de ho,” was Cab Calloway’s signature song, and Harlem’s famous Cotton Club was his home stage. A singer, dancer and band leader, he was an exceptional figure in the history of jazz: a consummate musician, he charmed audiences around the world with boundless energy, bravado and elegant showmanship. He toured as Sportin’ Life in Porgy and Bess, forever putting his personal stamp on “It Ain’t Necessarily So.” Watch it here.

23 Delivering on the Promise
Wine, Dinner and Sculpture Tour
Gail Martin, host of WNIT’s DINNER AND A BOOK, and sculptor Tuck Langland led a wine, sculpture and dinner tour in southwestern Michigan on October 23. Guests sampled wines and enjoyed appetizers en route to Baroda, Michigan, for a wine tasting and tour at Lemon Creek Winery.
The bus then traveled to Dowagiac for a tour of public sculptures led by Langland, a national award-winning sculptor. After the tour, guests walked to the Woodfire Grill in downtown Dowagiac where they enjoyed a choice of one of several three-course dinners with wine.
As Gail says, “Good friends, good food and good trips make for a very good life.”
