November Television Highlights “The Vietnam War defined a generation. It affected those who served, those who protested, and the families of both. We invite everyone to add their voice.” These phrases launched a Prairie Public project that stepped out into the broadcast community and collected stories that will be shared for generations to come. Prairie Memories: The Vietnam War Years invited the public to participate in oral history interviews that would represent the diversity of experiences during those years. Partnering with the State Historical Society of North Dakota to digitize participants’ photographs, correspondence, documents, and artifacts for the state’s digital archive, Prairie Public recorded for television and radio the memories of more than 40 people who were affected by the prolonged war between the communist armies of North Vietnam that were supported by the Chinese and the armies of
South Vietnam that were supported by the United States. Look for the narratives in a two-hour special on Thursday, November 9, beginning at 8 pm CT. You can participate in public screenings in Bismarck, Fargo, Lisbon, and Minot. Visit prairie public.org or the Prairie Public Facebook page for details. In Anne of Green Gables: The Good Stars, Anne Shirley turns 13 and faces complex issues with friends, adults, and Gilbert.
