Inventing America
A recent survey indicates college students have trouble recalling early American history. They can name pop culture icons but not the nation’s founding fathers. A new PBS pilot produced by WGVU brings them back to life in a contemporary, talk-show format letting them explain, in their own words, the events leading to the creation of the world’s greatest democracy. We talk with the creators.
