Great Video We love you Dr Beth

hoooo!! what a great video. As a biotechnologist who always working with genes and codes this video was an opportunity to become attracted to the masterpiece of American history. thank you smarthistory,

The last part brought tears to my eyes. A message of hope and inspiration. Thank you!

Hmm.. Benny did a great job of keeping things ambiguous. I can't tell if this man is wrapped in the flag, being smothered by it, embracing it, or anything. It was probably very wise (and more meaningful) for him to leave things open to interpretation that way... It's hard to hear about what people like me have suffered, but I won't deny how much progress has been made. I don't feel smothered or embraced, which is good enough in the grand scheme.

A properly hung flag has the union first or to the left. Why do you think the union is on the right?
