Celebrate the 234th anniversary of the Bill of Rights and the historic December 15, 1941, radio broadcast of We Hold These Truths with a live performance and radio event at Town Hall Seattle.

Known as the poet laureate of American radio, Norman Corwin wrote We Hold These Truths months before its original airing. But after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, the program—created to honor the Bill of Rights on its 150th anniversary—took on new emotional depth and national significance.

This production commemorates both the Bill of Rights and Corwin’s landmark broadcast, featuring a cast of prominent local broadcasters and public figures.

Feliks Banel is an award-winning broadcaster and historian based in Seattle.

Presented by Town Hall Seattle, SPACE 101.1 FM, and Cascade of History.
