Your Take: Defining ‘My America’ on Independence Day
We’ve been asking listeners to tell us: What does the phrase ‘My America’ means to you? Mary Joe Mercer from the Osage Nation Reservation in Oklahoma, told us about the Native Americans that have called this country home for thousands of years. On the Fourth of July, Mercer joins us to give us another perspective on what ‘America’ means.
