For the Common Good Part 1. (Repeat) 

A thread throughout the Smithsonian’s U.S. 250th celebration is “For the Common Good,” a concept advanced in the Declaration of Independence and later in the U.S. Constitution. Community leaders comment on efforts to use U.S. freedoms to move beyond individual interests and personal gain and to promote public responsibility, policies, and legal systems that prioritize shared benefits and community well-being. This show was originally aired from Washington DC last week, on July 11, 2026.

Guests: José López Zamorano, Program Co-Host and Correspondent, Radio Bilingüe, Washington, DC; Pedro Adorno, Puerto Rican theater and film director, actor, and educator, founder of Agua, Sol y Sereno; Washington, DC; Luz Maria Mack, Dominican writer, author of “Little María Discovers Her Dance” and “Bachatica,” Bronx, NY.
