About
On each episode of American Rhapsody we interview those who have witnessed American history firsthand: politicians, reporters, photographers and activists—all of whom have since donated their personal or professional archives to the Briscoe Center. We also interview historians, filmmakers and other researchers who work in the center’s collections. These collections are the evidence of the past. Without them, there is no history, only myth. Each week we ask: what actually happened? The sum of all those answers in an American Rhapsody.
