Next year marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, when the Continental Congress of the United British colonies in North America had the audacity to do the unthinkable – declare their independence from the British Crown and announce to the world the birth of a new nation.

To properly celebrate that world-changing event, the Roots of Today podcast is going to feature a continuing special series of episodes that mark some of the events from that era, until we reach the Semiquincentennial celebration. So what was going on in October, 1775 you might ask?

This is Alan, your host, reminding you to grab your coffee, tea, or whatever beverage you prefer, and sit back as we jump back 250 years in time.
