 In 2003, scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. helped publish what's believed to be the first novel ever written by an African American woman. That book, drawn from a manuscript dating back to the mid-1800s', was a bestseller, but mystery surrounded the author until professor Gregg Hecimovich decided to go on a two-decade journey of discovery, culminating his new non-fiction book, "The Life and Times of Hannah Crafts." Michelle Miller with CBS Saturday Morning has more. 

The Murfreesboro Historical YouTube Channel is a treasure trove for anyone interested in the rich tapestry of American history. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, with videos that bring to life the stories and events that have shaped the community of Murfreesboro NC and its surroundings.
