Outspoken: Why the Declaration of Independence is still "radical"

from The Gaggle: An Arizona politics podcast · host The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com

In this Outspoken conversation, we talked about why he believes the Declaration remains a revolutionary document, what it demands of us now, and why he calls himself a “prisoner of hope” about its future.  Learn more about your ad choices.
