The Revolutions

What does “freedom” mean to those outside the halls of power — and what did it mean during the American Revolution? Ed visits sites in Boston and Philadelphia to put that question to curators, museum educators, a playwright, and a tribal preservation officer. He learns about the ways in which women, Native Americans, and African Americans made the words of the Revolution come true in their lives.
