This week, PBS News introduced a podcast series titled In Pursuit of Happiness, hosted by Judy Woodruff. It spans six episodes and delves into the individuals, culture, and ideas that shaped America.
In a segment from the inaugural episode, presidential historian Lindsay Chervinsky offers a new perspective on President George Washington. She discusses his belief that embracing diverse viewpoints enhanced his leadership.
