iering across two nights on Sunday, February 20, and Monday, February 21, The HISTORY Channel’s new twelve-part series I Was There offers an immersive trip back in time, placing host Theo E.J. Wilson (the grandson of a Tuskegee Airman) at the center of some of history’s biggest events, to deconstruct how they truly unfolded. It reveals surprising perspectives on how seemingly trivial factors -- such as a map, a dance, and fateful timing -- influenced the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, and how cost-cutting, weather, and a spark created one of history’s worst aircraft catastrophes – the Hindenburg disaster. In each episode, Wilson revisits a different historical event to learn unexpected facts in an engaging, fast-moving, and often unpredictable way.
