Abstract

The article highlights upcoming PBS programming that celebrates literature, heritage, and influential figures in American history. It features a discussion with author Silvia Moreno-Garcia about her new thriller, *The Bewitching*, and her best-seller, *Mexican Gothic*, both of which explore themes of trauma, storytelling, and female agency. Additionally, it announces the premiere of the documentary *Becoming Thurgood: America’s Social Architect*, which chronicles the life of Thurgood Marshall, the first African American Supreme Court Justice, and his significant contributions to civil rights. The article also emphasizes PBS Books' collaboration with libraries to provide educational resources and programming, despite recent funding challenges. [Extracted from the article]
