You might have heard "Taps" on May 25, celebrated Juneteenth on June 19, and almost certainly saw and heard fireworks as you noshed your picnic fare on the Fourth of July. But what do each of these freedom holidays signify, and what is their back story? Discover this and the stories behind the classic freedom songs of "Yankee Doodle Dandy," "The Star-Spangled Banner," and "America the Beautiful" in this presentation by JES Scholar-in-Residence Andrew Roth.
