Our History Project 4th of July

Today we look at the document that started it all – “The Declaration of Independence”. This may not be an exciting show folks but it is one that will spell out the reasons why or founding fathers wrote it and what impact it made, not only for us a new independent country but for the rest of the world as well.

In today’s society where we have people who do not know their Vice President, Secretary of State, their representatives in Washington or even their own local officials, and really there are a lot of these folks out there. When if ever have you read, looked at or listened to this historical document? Listen today and you will. As I said this is not the most upbeat show we have had but I think it is important to hear. I left the show tunes background on for the entire show and do not know if it helps or is a distraction. Let me know and I can change it (Yes, I’m asking for an opinion, I can redo it.)

The show is only 18 minutes this week so give it a listen and think about those Founding Fathers who put their life on the line to sign it.

Next week Cassie talks to one of Georgia’s First Ladies Betty Vandiver who was the wife of Ernest Vandiver from 1959-1963 at a time when Civil Rights was an explosive issue for our Country and the South.
