Star-Spangled Extravaganza!

4th of July

Forget the hot dogs and the hamburgers, what you need is a big bite of In the Know kids! Join us this week as we celebrate our nation’s birth. Can you believe that the U-S-of-A is 232 years old?! Man, have we come a long way since then…or have we?

Tonight we will be talking about what it means to be an ‘American.’ Over the past few years, many people (particularly minorities) have been deemed ‘not American’ enough by today’s society–but why is that? What makes a good American? Does one have to be overtly patriotic to be considered a true American?

What about your three hyphenated-American ITK hosts? Are we any less American because of that hyphen? Let me just add that Vanessa, Abhinav, and I were all born in the U.S.–does that make a difference?

We’ll also talk about what we at ITK consider to be the TOP THREE events that have shaped the U.S. over the years. Perhaps the Civil War? the Civil Rights Movement? WWII?

All this and more on tonight’s show. Be sure to join us at 7 PM on 91.7 KVRX Austin. If you would like to participate in our little extravaganza, go ahead and give us a call at 512-495-KVRX or blog with us here on the site! See you tonight. Don’t forget the fireworks!

-XO-
