Charlie welcome to the program. We begin this evening with the author and historian David Mccullough. I like to write about people who i feel deserve more attention and credit. I like to bring them front and center stage. I like to write about the wives of these people. I like to write about people you never heard of because why should they remain in the shadows or in the wings, as it were. And the other im drawn to people who set off set out to accomplish something worthy, noble even that they knew would be difficult which turned out to be even more difficult than anyone imagined and they succeeded. Charlie we conclude with three syrian women who have activists. We want to highlight the syrian story through the syrian eyes not from the outside. Seeing more syrians speak about syria. Listening to syrians. We heard about the u. S. Strike but we havent heard any syrians speaking about how the strike affected the lives. Charlie the case for history and three activists in syria. Join us. F
