Celebration and Citizenship

Columbus Day has been part of American tradition for decades, but many people are beginning to see it differently. We explore how the growing recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Day is changing the way Americans think about history and identity. This conversation goes beyond holidays and raises deeper questions about how a nation chooses to tell its story.Next, we turn to immigration, one of the most defining issues in American life. The way questions are worded in polls can shape how people think about immigration and influence how the public understands this complex topic. We look at how language plays a role in shaping opinion and what that tells us about the national conversation today.For our fun fact we’re talking takeout. From pizza to Chinese food, Americans have strong opinions about their favorite meals, but we wonder if takeout and delivery are the same in this case. Whatever the case, we were left very hungry!
