“Races didn’t bother the Americans. They were something a lot better than any race. They were a People. They were the first self-constituted, self-declared, self-created People in the history of the world.”
I’ll be watching 1776 today, it’s a annual tradition.
Also on the watch list for today is An American Carol. Funny, educational and a bit dangerous to make with the current blacklisting going on in Hollywood.
