Beverly Hills, Calif. -- TV One will take a close look at unsolved civil-rights cases from the 1950s as part of its fall programming lineup.

Opening the three-week summer Television Critics Association summer press tour, the African-American network also announced during its morning presentation here that it will provide full coverage of the Democratic National Convention next month in Denver -- including a late-night recap show after each night of the convention -- in anticipation of the historic presidential run by Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.), according to TV One president Johnathan Rodgers.
