Joseph Kelly, professor of Irish and Irish-American studies at the College of Charleston and the author of Marooned: Jamestown, Shipwreck, and a New History of America’s Origin (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2018), talks about a Thanksgiving story most people may not know. Then listeners, especially teachers and parents, call in to talk about how they talk about the myths and realities of Thanksgiving with children.

"[The Pilgrims] were doing perfectly fine in Holland but decided they couldn’t stay there because their children were slipping away from their faith, that’s why the wanted to come to America so they could find a place that their children wouldn’t deviate," says @JosephK18743772.

"Everything we do for Thanksgiving now began as a footnote in history," says @JosephK18743772. https://t.co/xsPMHkHjQc

"The settlers were constantly trying to sneak off and live with the Native Americans and escape the English.... The way of life of the Algonquin was so much more attractive than the Jamestown colony," says @JosephK18743772 on Thanksgiving misconceptions.

Listeners call in to share two people they are thankful for, one person they know personally and one they don't!

My best friend since 4th grade, Tina, for so much help with my recent move back to Georgia after 25 years (17 in NYC), including reassembling furniture, and yes, Stacey Abrams, for her fantastic and fair fight and representing Georgia so well! Felt so proud to vote for her!

I’m so thankful for my daughters ( can’t pick one❣️) but if I have to just pick one, my son-in-law for being a wonderful father & husband. I’m very thankful for Brian, especially today

On Sunday, the Lenape people held its first pow wow in Manhattan in hundreds of years, since the indigenous community was driven from the island. George Stonefish, organizer of the Lenape pow wow, talks about the event's meaning and importance.

Can we PLEASE have more conversations like this with First Nations people? In fact any conversation they would like to have? Keep hearing from the governor and the mayor, but not the traditional custodians and first peoples of this land. Thank you Mr Stonefish!

@BrianLehrer native Americans fed the colonizers out of a sense of pity bc they were starving and digging up grave sites for food

By the way, I have no problem with him calling out Xtianity for its negative impact on First Nation people. If only more people did the same!
