YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe real history of Thanksgiving is complex. Neither the pilgrims nor the American Indians were entirely good or evil. Thanksgiving today has become politicized, and the holiday is often claimed to have racist origins, but in reality, it represents a real feast from 1621, where imperfect people set aside their differences and shared a meal together. The history is less racist than you think.
