Flag Day Special

Welcome to another enlightening episode of Time Tellers where we journey into the lesser-known narratives of June 14th—Flag Day. Hosts Renee and Dan peel back the layers of patriotism, protest, and profound symbolic significance tied to the American flag. From its inaugural resolution by the Continental Congress in 1777 to the Supreme Court drama of Texas v. Johnson, the story of the flag is anything but simple. We dive into how this iconic symbol has wielded power over unity and discord, embodying both national pride and the right to dissent. Join us as we uncover tales of activism, legislative battles, and cultural ceremonies that have shaped its legacy. Discover how Flag Day not only reflects our patriotic spirit but also challenges us to recognize voices historically sidelined under its shade. Time Tellers invites you to reflect on the stars and stripes not just as a symbol, but as an aspiration—a mirror to a nation's journey through history, rights, and dreams.
