Today is my favorite holiday. It begins my birthday month and it celebrates what the promise of our country can be. Yes, it originated when our very white, male, slave-owning forefathers declared independence from Britain, but I’ve always believed it to be more than that. And after one faction in our country has co-opted our national flag and knowing the founding fathers didn’t mean POC and women, this holiday is very muddled for a lot of Americans.
As usual, Dan Rather put it much better than I.
