Thanksgiving: Gratitude and Guilt in Trying Times
Manage episode 407310346 series 3561794

With Thanksgiving just around the corner and the word "genocide" already all over the news and social media, we can expect this holiday season to be especially fraught with complex and difficult-to-process emotions. But does a historical origin story necessarily take away from a modern interpretation of a holiday, or can traditions become separated from their roots to take on a different meaning entirely?
