We celebrated America over the weekend. Flags, parades, cookouts, family and…tragedy were all in play. Shootings in multiple locations brought a dark cloud over the celebration for many. Threats of violence and continued division were present in others. The weekend began with Orlando embarrassing itself with its event announcement.
While most of us had a rather typical holiday, the signs of division were prevalent. From threats to our nation’s institutions like law enforcement and the courts to violence at parades across the country, the institutions and traditions of America are under attack.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident…” But, how many Declarations were there? Dave Bowman answers that question as we jump into the “wayback machine” for today’s edition of DAVE DOES HISTORY in our 8am hour.
