Maryland's odd constitutional delegation in 1787, a documentary about the "Central Park Five", Baltimore writer Rafael Alvarez on his book "Tales from the Holy Land."

Happy Fourth of July! Today, we mark the day we declared independence from Britain in 1776. We revisit our conversation with author David O. Stewart about another seminal event in American history: writing the federal constitution and who Maryland sent to take part.

Then, five black and Latino teenagers, known as The Central Park Five, were wrongfully convicted in the rape of a Central Park jogger in 1989. Tom Hall talks with the directors of a documentary about the case, and one of the five men, now exonerated.

Plus, Baltimore writer Rafael Alvarez sketches intimate portraits of the city's down-and-out and up-and-coming. Tom talks with him about his book of short stories, Tales From The Holy Land.
