America 250: History vs. Mythology with Annette Gordon-Reed and David Blight
Episode description as stored
As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Jon is joined by Yale historian David Blight and Harvard historian Annette Gordon-Reed to examine the battle being waged over our national story. Together, they explore why origin stories matter to nations and individuals, discuss how a fuller understanding of American history challenges national myths, and consider how we can continue to aspire toward our founding ideals even as we reckon with our failures. Plus, Jon answers listener questions on Trump at 250, the Knicks, and Taco Bell, hopefully for the last time.
