All countries tweak their national stories to make the past easier to explain. Ordinary people, too, sometimes shape history from their perspectives.
Watch Historian Joyce Haworth explore the role of not-quite-true stories in American history. She will discuss some longstanding “myths" and examine why they have had such staying power. She will also give you reliable ways to test what you hear and get to the truth.
