PBS SPECIAL

Donna Wyant Howell was hired as an expert consultant, researcher, contributor of content, and provider of dialect voiceovers for the PBS Special Slavery's Buried Past that aired nationally and continues to be rebroadcast nationally on PBS stations and internationally on other stations.

Slavery's Buried Past, hosted by Bill Kurtis and part of a Peabody Award-winning series, includes photographs and excerpts from Ms. Howell's books, The I WAS A SLAVE Book Collection.

Ms. Howell's name and her book's title are individually included in separate sections of the rolling credits at the end.

When the PBS program needed an expert consultant for the documentary, the staff contacted a head archivist of the Library of Congress, who recommended Ms. Howell because she is considered to be THE foremost expert in the WPA slave narratives.
