As we approach July 4th this year, some are wondering how best to celebrate. Behind all our traditions -- family, food, parades, fireworks -- some significant questions linger. For the black community, Independence Day can call up some complicated feelings. But even more broadly this year, many are questioning what being a patriot really means in the current political climate. What is true patriotism? How do we express it without becoming nationalistic? How do we celebrate our hope in the vision of the founders and our resolve to love America enough to help it become the very best it can be for us and our children? Join our passionate, weighty, beautiful discussion, this week on The Let's Talk Sis Podcast.
