WABE-TV series “(re)Defining History” returns for its second season. Over four episodes, the docuseries delves into the history of Atlanta, the South, and its forgotten figures, places and moments.

The new season, which premieres on Mon., Feb. 23, explores anecdotal stories about Atlanta’s own baseball great, Henry “Hank” Aaron. The series also explores historical racial zoning, the complexity of the Atlanta Compromise, and it also shines a light on Atlanta’s first private black-owned hospital, the William A. Harris Memorial Hospital, which was built in 1928.

On Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look,” program host Rose Scott talked with Brianna Ceola, a senior producer for WABE-TV, Noah Washington, journalist and co-host of “(re)Defining History” and Victoria Lemos, co-host of “(re)Defining History” and founder and host of the “Archive Atlanta” podcast.
