American History TV went to the place where General Douglas MacArthur was born to learn about his family’s background, his birth in Arkansas, his firing by President Truman, and an address to the people of Little Rock on a return trip to his birthplace later in his career.

C-SPAN’s Local Content Vehicles (LCVs) made a stop in their “2012 LCV Cities Tour” in Little Rock, Arkansas, on March 5-8 to feature the history and literary life of the community. Working with the Comcast local cable affiliate, they visited literary and historic sites where local historians, authors, and civic leaders were interviewed. The history segments air on American History TV (AHTV) on C-SPAN3 and the literary events/non-fiction author segments air on BookTV on C-SPAN2. close
