HEARING FROM OUR FOUNDERS ABOUT PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING
The posts you will see daily in this blog over the next few weeks are taken from a play I researched, scripted, and produced in Dallas, TX in 1984 for the Republican National Convention. The words in the posts are attributed to our nation's Founders and came from research I conducted at Thanksgiving Square Foundation Library in Dallas. Thanksgiving Square is one-square block dedicated to the worldwide practice of "Thanksgiving" or "Giving Thanks" which is done in all cultures around the world. It was where the original production of the play was staged.
The daily blog posts will be the words of American Founders during times of deep crisis: SAMUEL ADAMS, GEORGE WASHINGTON, and ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Also you will hear from SARAH JOSEPHA BUELL HALE the Editress of "Godey's Ladies Book" who in the 1860s, pursued a dream of America as a nation united in prayer. She successfully pursuaded Abraham Lincoln to establish America's THANKSGIVING DAY as a National Holiday for all Americans of any religion.
These posts will also be featured on other social media sites and WILL APPEAR DAILY UNTIL THANKSGIVING.
The script and SHOW BOOK for the 1984 production is available for $0.76 (as in "1776") from Jean Yeager's Online shop at https://344944.e-junkie.com
