Benjamin did not want the turkey as the national bird….but now everyone knows I love musicals. lololololololI googled before I finished editing….but the random aside still works so I kept it. But here’s how we got this story….“One of the most popular Thanksgiving-related myths in American history is the notion that Benjamin Franklin preferred the turkey as the national symbol of the United States, over the bald eagle. This story gained popularity in November 1962, when the New Yorker featured a cover illustration by Anatole Kovarsky of the Great Seal of the United States with a turkey in the place of the bald eagle. That same decade, the musical 1776 premiered on Broadway, and featured a song called “The Egg”, where Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams compare the birth of a new nation through the Declaration of Independence to an egg hatching. This launches a debate over which bird should symbolize America: John Adams calls for the eagle, Jefferson for the dove, and Franklin (of course) for the turkey. How did we come to associate the symbolism of the turkey with Benjamin Franklin, and is there any truth to it?”The True Story Behind a DNA Test, a Family Reckoning, and My Grandfather Charles MansonTrump hails Dodgers as ‘one of the great brands’ during White House visitCBS NFL analyst Tony Romo arrested on suspicion of OWIBarack Obama surprises WNBA All-Stars ahead of practice in Chicago: ‘I could not be a bigger fan’Former President Barack Obama surprises WNBA All-Stars at their practice at his Presidential CenterLeBron James signing with Philadelphia 76ers, marking his record 24th seasonLeBron’s Final Decision Is a Massive Plot Twist for the NBAThose are your headlines for today.
