Gerald Ford and America's Bicentennial
Celebrate the pivotal moments of America's Bicentennial celebration through the eyes of President Gerald Ford, as recounted by Thomas DeFrank. As the only reporter still covering the White House today who also covered President Ford during the Bicentennial, DeFrank offers a unique, first-person perspective of America's 200th birthday commemoration.
Join us for personal stories from this celebrated journalist, who traveled with Ford during those momentous days and was privy to his thoughts, feelings, organizing principles and philosophy surrounding our country's historic July 4, 1976, milestone.
