Due to the holidays we’re giving you an early heads up on C-SPAN’s World War I programming.  Everything appears to be talks that have aired before, but this coming weekend includes all talks from the symposium held at the National World War I Museum and Memorial in early November.

Because we are almost a week out from these programming, I give you the usual warning about changing schedules and that all times are Central.
