The Lawnside Historical Society invites the community to view the Home and Garden Television special, "Historic African American Towns," on Sunday, Feb. 22, in the Lawnside School Library, 426 E. Charleston Ave. Admission is free.

The program is scheduled to broadcast nationally at 5 p.m. The Lawnside celebration will start at 4:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Lawnside is the first of the towns featured in the program which was filmed by High Noon Productions of Centennial, Colo. The crew visited Camden County during the Lawnside Day celebration last June. The segment shows scenes from the annual parade, interviews with residents and a re-enactment at the Peter Mott House featuring members of the Society as the Underground Railroad conductor and fugitives.

Among communities included in the program are: Eatonville, Fla., home of writer Zora Neale Hurston; Princeville, N.C., Lawnside's sister city and one of the first black towns established in the nation; and Nicodemus, Kan., settled by Exodusters during Reconstruction.
