Sketches in History | The Witness and the Secret

Welcome back to Sketches in History! This segment, just for kids, shows that history isn't just a story; it's an adventure. Join Lottie Archer as she dives into her extraordinary notebook, where sketches from history come to life!In this episode, Lottie finds two things tucked beneath the lamp on her grandfather's desk: a folded newspaper with the headline HISS CONVICTED OF PERJURY and a black-and-white photograph of two men in suits at a table full of microphones, both of them looking like they've been sitting there a very long time. In this episode, your kids will discover what it means to stand up in front of a whole country and say something no one expects to hear, why the question of who is telling the truth can outlast a courtroom verdict, and how the word "testimony" can carry more weight than almost any other word in history.Listen and subscribe to the 15-Minute History podcast to hear Sketches in History every other Thursday.
