History Matters: Liberty Still Has a Pulse
Description
This week, Scott and Aaron remember a mock funeral for “liberty” that Wilmingtonians staged in 1765 to protest the Stamp Act. Also: A French doctor sails across the Atlantic for mental health awareness; a New York woman invents the modern home security system; and Orson Welles terrifies the entire nation.
