To help shed light on the details about World War II maneuvers and other war-related activities in Tennessee, the Tennessee State Library and Archives (TSLA) will host a free workshop on Saturday, August 18 from 9:30 a.m. until 11 a.m. in the TSLA Auditorium.
The workshop will also focus on explanations of maneuver exercises, how civilians in Tennessee were impacted by soldiers, and what happened to soldiers after they left Tennessee. The workshop will also include stories from those who lived through the challenging times - helping to recreate the emotions of the time - and show the actions of normal men, women and children in a time of war. Part of the program will include a display of more than 100 World War II artifacts and a discussion about the training facilities located throughout Tennessee during World War II.
The guest speaker is Woody McMillian. The Nashville resident is an award-winning journalist and author of In the Presence of Soldiers. Mr. McMillian's career includes 30 years in journalism, communications and corporate/government management.
