Tune in this weekend for a diverse array of musical performances from doo-wop to country, a peek inside the life of the Queen of Crime with Lucy Worsley and much more. All featuring many opportunities and incentives to show your support for GPB. Take a look at what's coming up!

Enjoy full-length performances from Johnny Maestro, The Duprees, Jay Back, Little Anthony & The Imperials, Ronnie Spector, Frankie Valli, Jerry Butler and many more artists from the 50s and 60s.

This program, hosted by Tom and Dick Smothers and Judy Collins, takes a musical journey through the evolution of modern American folk music, from its roots in bluegrass to San Francisco coffee houses to clubs in Greenwich Village. Features The Brothers Four, Glenn Yarbrough, The Highwaymen and many others.

Grab a front-row seat to the country and blues singer’s first-ever show at the fabled auditorium in downtown Nashville, a sold-out celebratory event. Crockett performs songs from his deep catalog along with his ace band, The Blue Drifters.

Discover how the advent of the automobile brought new mobility and freedom for African Americans but also exposed them to discrimination and deadly violence, and how that history resonates today.

Explore artisan craftsmanship and hidden treasures in one of the world’s most beautiful countries. Meet the skilled watchmakers, weavers, bookbinders and roof thatchers who teach hands-on skills to the next generation of apprentices.

Celebrate the popular MASTERPIECE series and the beauty of the Dales by touring the actual locations where filming takes place, including the Skeldale House, Heston Grange, The Drovers Arms, as well as scenic vistas, bridges and farms.

Lucy Worsley explores the enigma of Agatha Christie. Over three episodes, she applies her historian’s powers of investigation to the Queen of Crime. And she uncovers a complex woman whose life - and work - reflects the upheavals of the 20th century.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve already watched the four-hour docuseries, there is still plenty to learn and celebrate and that’s exactly what we will be doing at the Martin Luther King, Jr. International Chapel at Morehouse College next Saturday, March 2.

1912 was an eventful year: Woodrow Wilson defeats William Howard Taft. The Titanic sank, resulting in 1,500 deaths. And there was racial violence in the south, north of Atlanta, Forsyth county - three Black men were arrested and executed for assault. 1,000 African-American county residents forced out.

“In 1912, you [also] had a lot of things going on along Atlanta’s Auburn Avenue,” noted David Y. Mitchell, Executive Director of the Atlanta Preservation Center. “Economic sources were all around, like insurance, grocers, a thriving commercial district anchored by this building.”

The building is the 124-year-old Odd Fellows, commemorated by Booker T. Washington in 1913. Read more.

A new PBS series from Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is airing on GPB TV and streaming on demand on PBS passport. It’s called “GOSPEL,” and it tells the story of how the music of Black churches became a tremendous contribution to American culture.

This week on the Georgia Today podcast, the state Board of Education has upheld the firing of a Cobb County teacher for teaching so-called "divisive concepts" in the classroom, a proposed mine near Georgia's Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is nearing final approval, and the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned a Georgia Supreme Court decision in an unusual case involving a murder in metro Atlanta.
