Boston's struggle to meet the ideals of America's founding

Season 2026 Episode 34 | 9m 20s

The New England Patriots’ Super Bowl defeat was a disappointment for fans, but the team's return to the national stage also served as a reminder of the role the Greater Boston Area played in the country’s founding. Judy Woodruff explores that history, as well as some recent turmoil, to ask what it tells us about the country today. It's part of her series, America at a Crossroads.
