(2:00 pm ET/7:00 pm ET): "Louis Armstrong's Personal Tape Recorder; One-Cent Magenta; Andy Warhol's Wigs. Based on Harvey Rachlan's book "Lucy's Bones, Sacred Stones and Einstein's Brain", our wild romp through history tracks down: tape recordings made by Louis Armstrong after the technophile bought two recorders once hearing a bootleg copy of his own concert in 1947; the one-cent magenta stamp; the largest collection of Andy Warhol's wigs, which he began wearing in the 1950s. (Half-hour version) CC"

February 6 THE HISTORY CHANNEL CLASSROOM: Harlem Hellfighters
(6:00 am ET): "The African-American soldiers of the 369th Infantry fought two wars: one against the Germans and one against the hatred of white Americans.

(6:00 am ET): "Relives the 400-year era of transatlantic slave trade when millions of Africans were kidnapped and shipped to the New World.

February 9 THE HISTORY CHANNEL CLASSROOM: The Underground Railroad, Part II
(6:00 am ET): "The Underground Railroad was neither, in fact. Nor was it a centralized national organization. Instead, it is the symbolic name for the century-long struggle of slaves making the dangerous journey out of bondage, and a secret network of free blacks and whites of conscience that offered solace against the slave-holding South. CC"

HISTORY INTERNATIONAL: The African Trade
(8:00 pm ET): "The destiny of three continents was shaped by the African slave trade. Drawing on the latest research, this program asks uncomfortable questions about the extent of African participation in a vicious trade-the scars from which have still not healed today."

HISTORY INTERNATIONAL: The Boer War
(9:00 pm ET): "The Boer War for mastery of South Africa was Britain's Vietnam. Between 1899 and 1902, more than 20,000 British troops and 45,000 civilians died fighting a much smaller guerrilla force of farmer-soldiers. Using the memories of the soldiers who fought and long-lost archive from the reporters and cameramen who covered the war, this program provides unique insight into the Boer War."

HISTORY INTERNATIONAL: Africa, The Grand Safari
(10:00 pm ET): "Africa's timeless allure and the famed opulence of its isolated hotels made the so-called "Dark Continent" a glittering escape for the wealthy and powerful. William Holden's Mount Kenya Safari Club was an elite hotel in the center of the exotic African bush. Though the safari took adventurers into the bush, it was hardly roughing it."

HISTORY INTERNATIONAL: Nelson Mandela, Journey to Freedom

Arthur Kent hosts a look at how their actions changed the face of the U.S. Navy."

PREMIERE!
CROSSING THE BRIDGE
(8:00 pm ET/12:00 am ET): "Selma, Alabama, March 7, 1965. A line of civil rights protestors crossed the Edmund Pettis Bridge on a march to the capital in Montgomery. Alabama State Troopers blocked their path, and the unprovoked brutality that followed shocked a nation and moved President Johnson to press for passage of a voting rights bill.
