In this episode, we talk to historian Marc Stein, the current president of the Organization of American Historians, about the 200th anniversary of the United States. Stein's new book Bicentennial: A Revolutionary History of the 1970s chronicles the Bicentennial celebrations in Philadelphia and throughout the nation. In the process, we learn more about American urban history, public history and commemoration, and the way diverse and under-represented communities challenged prevailing narratives of American identity.
