Volume 6 of South by Northwest tells the story of Tish Nevins, or Aunt Tish, a mulatto woman from Missouri and former slave who raised the white children of her former mistress and ran an renowned dining room in Hamilton, Montana in the very early 1900s. • • The initial $248,000 contract for these films was awarded to Washington State University's KWSU-TV, to produce five docudramas based upon the stories of black Americans in the early northwest, to be aimed at middle-school students. Based upon research headed by WSU Professors Quintard Taylor and Talmadge Anderson, and produced by media expert Nate Long, five initial half-hour television programs were completed in 1976, and three more programs followed in 1981. South by Northwest was cited for outstanding participation by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration, and won a Corporation for Public Broadcasting Award and a New York Film Festival Award. • • In 2010, Washington State University Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC) digitized these eight productions. The films are held in the WSU Libraries as VHS tapes; this one is call number vhs17488v6. • • Information presented here about these programs was drawn primarily from South by Northwest: An Educational Television Series Designed to Teach Regional Black History, Integrated Education v. 18, pg. 94-96, 1980, by Dennis A. Warner, et al, as well as from KWSU's Radio and Television Services Records: http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/masc/finde... and http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/MASC/finde....
