Episode 7: In the Great American Tradition - Dissent

The founders of the great American experiment so valued dissent that they wrote the idea into the First Amendment to the Constitution. But while dissent has always been an American tradition it has also often created great controversy and much trouble for the dissenters. Three esteemed historians help tell the story of American dissent, including opposition to war, fights for civil rights, battles against Wall Street and, yes, opposition to Donald J. Trump.
