  • Resumen

  • During the “patriotic season” – Memorial Day, Flag Day, and July 4th – families come together to commemorate the nation, especially our hard-fought independence during the American Revolution. But the complex political events between “Mother England” and her American “daughter” also provide the backdrop to the family dramas that affected many Americans, including the “father of the country” George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin and William Franklin, John and Abigail Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, Henry and Lucy Knox, among many others. In many ways, family is very much a part of the history of the holidays.


    Host: Andrew J. Falk
