We are in the early stages of researching a new house to be placed in Greenfield Village.  It will be known as the Jackson House, from Selma, Alabama.  The house was instrumental in the Civil Rights Movement of the early 1960s.  It was owned by an affluent African American couple and served as a place where members of the movement, specifically Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his associates strategized and developed their plans.  Here is a link to the house on our website,

A major part of the interpretation will be identifying and securing a period console television set that appears in a number of images of the living room in 1965 -- see the attached photos.  Working with Tom Genova, we've been able to identify the model and year of the television in the period photos as a 1963 R.C.A. New Vista, "Trent" model,  and I was able to secure an advertisement for it.   We need to locate a set for the house. Any advice you may provide will be greatly appreciated.
