Written by Ali Velshi, produced by Armand Manoukian. A live lecture delivered in Philadelphia to honor the 250th anniversary of the country. I turned Ali's 20 page essay into a broadcast, scouring our archives for images to match the story. I worked with the graphic artists to produce the 90 slides in Ali's presentation, and also reached out to sources to clear images we did not have the rights to. Originally recorded June 25. Aired July 4, 2026.
