Two Anthems, One America: Ep. 1: Unpacking the Star-Spangled Banner

In this episode of the Morris Perspective Podcast, host Connie Morris delves into the complexities of the Star-Spangled Banner, exploring its historical context, the implications of its lyrics, and the realities of America during the time it was written. The discussion highlights the anthem's focus on national survival rather than individual freedom, the existence of slavery, and the gap between the anthem's symbolism and the lived experiences of many Americans. Morris sets the stage for a deeper understanding of national symbols and their meanings, paving the way for a future discussion on 'Lift Every Voice and Sing.'
