Travel Today with Peter Greenberg--The Newseum, Washington, D.C.

What this episode covers

This week, Travel Today with Peter Greenberg comes from the Newseum in Washington, D.C.—the amazing interactive museum dedicated to the history, the execution, the challenges, and the legends of the fourth estate (not to mention the first amendment). Joining Peter Greenberg is legendary CBS Correspondent Bill Plante, who talks about his remarkable 52-year career at the network, and his travels along the way—from covering civil rights in Selma, Alabama, the war in Vietnam, his years as the White House correspondent for the network, and many other points in between. Carrie Christoffersen, Curator of the Newseum’s “Louder than Words” exhibit, talks about the fascinating combination of music icons of the 60s and 70s, their lyrics, and how they reflected American history—all in the context of the five freedoms of the first amendment. There’s all of this and more as Travel Today with Peter Greenberg comes from the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
