Praxis 173: "Love Something Ugly" 4th of July Special w/ Guest CoHost Jac Archer

Original air date: July 4, 2016 Host Taylor Weech and guest co-host Jac Archer take a look at the history and meaning of Independence Day, starting with what the American Revolution would have meant to those denied "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" at that time. They discuss nationalism and patriotism and the complexities of understanding a history that is ugly in order to move toward something better.
