We Hold These Truths...
.. a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the ratification of United States Bill of Rights. It aired live on December 15, 1941, just eight days after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
It was written and produced by Norman Corwin and starred Jimmy Stewart, Edward Arnold, Lionel Barrymore, Bob Burns, Walter Brennan, Walter Huston, Marjorie Main, Edward G. Robinson, Rudy Vallee, and Orson Welles, with concluding remarks by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
It was the first radio show to be broadcast on all four major radio networks.
The message of this radio broadcast is more relevant today than it ever has been as the importance of the American Revolution, the adoption of the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Bill of Rights seems to be fading by the second.
Please share far and wide.
