This week, Scott and Aaron discuss Independence Day – or Independence Days, rather, since July 2, July 9, and August 2 could also stake a claim. Also: Thomas Jefferson acts like a college freshman; North Carolina’s vote enshrines the 26th Amendment; the Medicare program launches in 1966; an early Pennsylvanian becomes the first American woman to run a newspaper; and Scott and Aaron celebrate the legibility of the Constitution. (Considering how legalese-y most laws are, it really is pretty remarkable.)
97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro. Every Thursday morning, local historian Scott Washington joins 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck for “History Matters,” a look back at notable events and significant figures from this week in history, ranging from pioneers to writers to inventors to civil rights champions and more, locally, nationally, and beyond.
