"We the People": A Question Worth Asking

from The Unexpected Detour ❤️ Hosted by Frances Hammond

As Independence Day approaches, I ask a question that has stayed with me for years: Who were "We the People?" In this episode of The Unexpected Detour, I reflect on America's founding ideals, the contradiction of slavery, and the ongoing pursuit of a more perfect Union. This isn't about politics—it's about history, reflection, and the courage to ask difficult questions. Together, let's explore what those familiar words have meant throughout our nation's history and what they might mean for us today. Thank you for listening.
