Join us this weekend on C-SPAN2's Book TV and C-SPAN3's American History TV  as we explore Louisville, Kentucky, and review the literary culture of the largest city in Kentucky.

C-SPAN’s Local Content Vehicle staff traveled to Louisville earlier this summer to gather this programming and work with our Time Warner cable partners to visit schools and meet with local officials while there.

Book TV Features:

•  Senator Mitch McConnell from John David Dyche – author of “Republican Leader: A Political Biography of Senator Mitch McConnell”
 
•  African American history sites in the city with author Blaine Hudson – author of “Two Centuries of Black Louisville”

•  Carmichael’s Bookstore to learn about Louisville’s oldest independent bookstore and the state of the book-selling industry

•  Author Jason Gainous talk about his book “Rebooting American Politics: The Internet Revolution”

•  Perspectives on President Obama from Dewey Clayton, author of “The Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama: A Critical Analysis of a Racially Transcendent Strategy”
