In 1975, a fourth-grade class in Alexander City, Alabama wrote a song called "My Grand American Home" for America's bicentennial—one that even caught the attention of Governor George Wallace. Fifty years later, that same class reunited to re-record the song for America's 250th birthday, with their original teacher, 84-year-old Miss Holdridge, joining them. Daily Wire reporter Lynden Blake shares the full story—including her mom's campaign to get it in front of President Trump—with Tim Rice on this special July 4th episode of Behind the Story.
