Ken Burns on What History Can Teach Us in These Times
Historian and documentary filmmaker Ken Burns says that in these fraught times, it's more important than ever for America to live by its motto, "E Pluribus Unum" -- "Out of Many, One." In fact, "UNUM" is the name of Burns' online resource for history buffs, an incredible compendium of his work across four decades. He joins the show from New Hampshire to explain what history can teach us.
