On this episode of Our American Stories, American progress, with all its tragedies and enduring hope, can perhaps be seen as clearly through the Irish-American experience as any other. Karen Kaufmann shares the story of one man, Matthew Kerry, who never tired of calling Americans, again and again, to the high aspirations of the Declaration of Independence. We'd like to thank the Jack Miller Center for turning us on to this story.
