Kane oral history to air this month

Friday, Feb. 5, 2010

In honor of Black History Month, a program profiling the Kane Family is airing through this month. Part of Sotterley Plantation's Oral History Project, this program was created to document the special stories from this National Historic Landmark.

This program contains the research and recollections about the Kane family and features stories by Agnes Kane Callum.

Callum was born in 1925 in Baltimore but has ancestral ties to Sotterley Plantation in Hollywood.

She has done extensive research about her roots, which she has paired with oral histories passed down to her by her family.

Historic Sotterley Inc. has granted permission for St. Mary's County Government to air this program on County Government Channel 95.

It will be broadcast throughout the month. Log on to www.stmarysmd.com for the Channel 95 schedule.
