We share familiar and forgotten songs, many not normally associated with Independence Day, that highlight the people, issues, and ideas that create America, supported by insightful commentary. Music and comments that take us into the soul of America.

Dreaming of America
By NHPR Staff on Thursday, July 3, 2008.The Exchange takes a break for Independence Day to play a special from Humankind Media called “Dreaming of America”. We are nearing national elections and a new administration to lead our country. There has been a lot of talk about “change” but what kinds of change to Americans really yearn for? What do we want? What inspires us and how do we find common grounds on topics like war, global warming and energy? In this special we hear from regular Americans as they wait to view the Declaration of Independence, as they watch a major league baseball game and as they sit waiting in a veterans' clinic. We learn more about Americans' dreams for America.
