The Meaning Of Memorial Day

On this holiday episode of the podcast, we wanted to explore the roots of Memorial Day. On Today's Show:More than the start of summer, Memorial Day is about honoring those who died in service to the country. Kenneth C. Davis, author of the "Don't Know Much About History" series and most recently, Strongman: The Rise of Five Dictators and the Fall of Democracy (Henry Holt and Company, 2020) talks about the holiday's post-Civil War origin and America's contested history in general.
