Description: 

This week on From the Vault we present a Fourth of July-inspired episode centering on a 1970 Pacifica Radio Archives recording titled Honor America Day. Organized by President Nixon, hosted by Bob Hope, Honor America Day was a showcase of patriotic observances and entertainment in Washington D.C. In true Pacifica vision, we've taken the liberty to remix this original recording with a few voices extra voices from the past - voices of the people in the arts, music, literature, poetry, activism, politics, education, theater, and film. Selections include the insights and musings of Alfre Woodard, Alice Walker , Howard Zinn, Mario Savio, Lena Horne, Norman Mailer, Stokely Charmichael, Rosa Parks, Bob Dylan, Jesse Jackson, Cesar Chavez, and many, many more.

From the Vault is presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project, funded in part by an award from the GRAMMY Foundation and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission at the National Archives and Records Administration, and past grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ford Foundation, and the American Archive funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, along with the generous support of Pacifica Radio Listeners. We also thank our partners and collaborators at the Pop-Up Archive, Amara, Other Minds Archives, George Blood Audio, and the California Audio Visual Preservation Project.
