The Three Patriots statue in Chicago and its fascinating history

This video highlights the importance of unity among ethnic groups during the American Revolution and the 1930s.

This week, my friend and fellow scholar Chris Young and I are in Philadelphia with some of you! If you’re here with us, we’re delighted to share that we’re having an amazing time, and we hope you are, too.

For today’s issue of Mind Travel, we continue to celebrate America 250, this time by exploring the fascinating story of an 11-foot-tall bronze statue standing on the corner of Wacker Drive and Wabash Avenue in downtown Chicago. The “Three Patriots” statue highlights the importance of unity among ethnic groups during the American Revolution and the 1930s.
