Interestingly, the name of the upcoming President's Day holiday reminds us that it is not a celebration of a specific president's birthday or even the performance of a particular president. Rather, it is a holiday that celebrates the office and those who have had the enormous responsibility to hold it, whether we approve or disapprove the administration of any President. This week, we learn more about how a deeply unpopular President from the 1850s may teach us the essence of why the Office of the President is a valuable American institution.

Friends & Fellow Citizens - #76: Developing Immunity Amid a Pandemic of Incivility
play

01/31/22 • 59 min

COVID-19 has exposed and created new challenges that have stretched the American political fabric thin. With polarization exacerbated during the past two challenging years, civility and common sense are two of the most effective treatments that have been lacking for too long. Dr. Christine Blackburn, Assistant Professor of Security Studies at Sam Houston State University, joins us this week for a closer look at some history of U.S. public health measures. We also explore why a lack of civility has sadly permeated U.S. politics and public health policymaking during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While many of the Signers were young men who had just recently rose to prominence in politics, some already had critical experience studying and fighting for the rights of the original 13 colonies. Stephen Hopkins, a former governor and Chief Justice from Rhode Island, sowed some of the seeds of independence that eventually grew to fruition decades later.
