In the days leading up to July 4, 2025—also known as Independence Day in the US—news stories are breaking that reflect the vital importance of the principles addressed in the Declaration of Independence. Adopted by the Continental Congress in July 1776 to officially separate the 13 American colonies from Great Britain, the Declaration established reasons for the split, guidelines for the new nation, and calls for the nation to be governed by laws, not by people. This episode touches on a few news stories of the month and includes a review of a few the 28 indictments in the Declaration itself and how they connect with news stories of the day.

Born into a blue collar and agricultural clan in rural Pennsylvania, Dr. Jim Crawford was the first in his family to graduate from college. Earning his PhD from the University of North Carolina, he taught US and World History at several universities in the piedmont North Carolina for several decades. He served as chairman of the Chatham County board of commissioners, and currently serves as trustee for Central Carolina Community College. He is a firm believer in American democracy and trusts that the constitution will hold firm now as it has in past crises despite the broken, distempered electorate.
