MGTV Forum - Michigan's Civil War Battle Flags
A multi-point video conference among panelists and three Michigan schools. Length: 69:02
This one-hour multi-point video conference was recorded live-to-tape at MGTV's studios on May 14, 2001, and deals with the history and importance of Michigan's extensive collection of Civil War battle flags. Panelists on the program include Kerry Chartkoff, Director Capitol Tours and Chair of 'Save the Flags'; Dave Downing, Civil War reenactor and past president of the 7th Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment; and David Finney, Civil War scholar and Chair of the History Department of North Farmington High School. Three Michigan classes participated in the discussion through compressed video: Kuehn-Haven Middle School from Montrose, Cass City Middle School from Cass City, and Brownell Middle School from Grosse Pointe.
This is an excellent example of how MGTV can facilitate question and answer sessions with experts on various topics.
