By the People, For the People?

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
On today’s edition of our regular Underreported feature, we’ll examine the actions of anti-immigration vigilantes on the US-Mexican border. Then, we'll discuss progressive WPA murals, and the attempts to preserve and restore these often underappreciated works. Next, we’ll get a tutorial on how to cheat your friends at poker from Penn Jillette. And historian Sean Wilentz looks at how American democracy was forged in the days between the Revolution and the Civil War.
