Episodes of the "Road Trip to History" series highlighting the Eastern Panhandle's African-American history will air on West Virginia Public Television March 15.
KEARNEYSVILLE -- The founder of an Eastern Panhandle video production company has been honored at the State Capitol for the program he created to highlight the African-American history of Jefferson County.
Wayne Bronson, whose Oak Tree Productions is based in Kearneysville, is the man behind “Road Trip to History,” a series of half-hour TV programs that tell the stories of communities in the Eastern Panhandle and in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.
“We believe there is more African-American history in Jefferson County than any other place in the nation,” said Bronson, who formed his company after working for public television in Northern Virginia.
Gov. Joe Manchin and state lawmakers also honored Jefferson County Black History Preservation Society Leaders George Rutherford and James Tolbert.
West Virginia Public Television will air two episodes of “Road Trip” during a pledge drive starting at 8 p.m. March 15, Bronson said.
The program focused on Shepherdstown will air first, he said, followed by the African-American program.
