Independent Minds: John Adams (news-friendly without dates)
From: Murray Street Productions
Series: Independent Minds
Length: 58:37
John Adams, champion of the American Revolution, instrumental in the drafting of the Constitution, and second President of our young Republic, was a study in contrasts. This extremely public citizen and charismatic speaker reserved his most intimate thoughts for a remarkable 60-year correspondence with his wife Abigail. Despite Adams' huge influence and our unique knowledge of him, there are few monuments in his honor. Independent Minds: John Adams offers an engaging hour long glimpse into our nation's forgotten father and the trials he faced constructing a nation. Featuring preeminent historians, journalists and politicos including: David McCullough, Richard Brookhiser, Joseph Ellis, Kirk Ellis, John Ferling, Joanne Freeman, Paul Giamatti, Gary Hart, Tom Hooper, Caroline Keinath, Ed Larson, Laura Linney, David Morse, Cokie Roberts and Tom Wilkinson.
