Podcast with Writer Scott Powell on America’s Holidays

America’s story, including its Judeo-Christian heritage, can be told through an exploration of many of the nation’s holidays. Scott Powell of the Discovery Institute has recently written a book on America’s special days, Rediscovering America: How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story about Who We Are. This book includes chapters on Columbus Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and the July 4th. The first chapter is called, “American History: Why Being connected to the past matters.” Scott Powell joins Jerry Newcombe on Vocal Point to give an overview of how American holidays help tell our nation’s history. www.rediscoveringAmerica.net
