47:06Now PlayingTrump's 16-day Great American State Fair to mark our nation's 250th anniversary kicked off over the weekend and it wasn't exactly a packed house. Lots of acts canceled but the biggest name remaining (maybe?) Vanilla Ice had to cancel. It's going great!
Susan Demas and Sam Osterhout are joined by historian Kenneth C. Davis, author of Don’t Know Much About History, for a powerful conversation about America’s 250th anniversary, the founding myths we were taught, and the history Donald Trump’s movement is trying to erase. Davis explains why the American story must include both liberty and slavery, why the founders feared an overpowered executive, and why censorship of books, teachers, museums, and public history is a warning sign of authoritarianism.
As the country heads toward July 4th, this conversation asks the real question: how do we celebrate America honestly while defending democracy from those trying to rewrite its past?
