Philip Merrill, an African American Historian and Author

I’m excited to announce that Philip Merrill will be joining us on the show this week. Philip is a historian, in the truest sense of the word. His focus is on African American history and has collected many artifacts and memorabilia from the past.

The other day, I watched as he transcribed a letter written by a slave in the 1830s. It was fascinating to read it.

You can find out more of Philip and the work he is doing, including the two books that bear his name, The Black America Series: Baltimore and The Art of Collecting Black Memorabilia and The World War II Black Regiment That Built the Alaska Military Highway, over at NannyJack.com.

Join us at 9pm EDT right here on the Live Show Page.
