This week in history: Scott and Aaron mark the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks – but also discuss more positive moments in history as well, including the first official reference to the “United States of America,” a step forward in the ratification of the Bill of Rights, and the first publication of the Pledge of Allegiance. (Which was written by a socialist, as it happened.) Also: desegregation icon Ruby Bridges is born in 1954, Charles Kuralt becomes a legendary journalist, and Francis Scott Key is inspired to pen the Star-Spangled Banner.
