There is just one WWI program on C-SPAN3 this weekend, but it’s big–three and a half hour live coverage of the “1917: America Joins the Fight” symposium at the National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City.  Coverage begins at 8:30 a.m. Central.  Speakers should include David Stephenson, Jennifer Keene, and Michael Neiberg.

Once it airs it will be available on the C-SPAN website, as are all previous programs on World War I.  Please also remember that sometimes C-SPAN changes their schedule after we post these entries, and that happened last week.  Consult your listings for the current schedule.
