We Hold These Truths (Part 2). (Repeat)

As part of our broadcasts from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., we gathered reflections on the celebrated words of the Declaration of Independence: “All men are created equal.” How has the interpretation of this revolutionary idea evolved? What is the modern concept of equality? Cultural and social activists, along with Smithsonian visitors, keep the conversation alive. This program originally aired a couple of days ago, July 12, 2026.

Guests: José López Zamorano, co-host and correspondent, Radio Bilingüe; Daniel Sheehy, Director Emeritus, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings; Cristina Diaz-Carrera, Curator, Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, Smithsonian Folklife Festival; Eloy Neira de la Cadena, ethnomusicologist and assistant curator, Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, Smithsonian Folklife Festival; Sharon Arana, Festival Services Coordinator; Pablo Molinero, Manager, Program Coordinator and Music Curator; Liliana Caracoza Lopez, Community Engagement Coordinator; Kevin Machado, Salvadoran troubadour; all from the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage in Washington, DC.
