American Conversations: Senator Angus King (I-ME), on Paul Revere's Ride

Published | Video Starts at 01:07

I'm talking about Paul Revere in the context of today and what's happening to our government tomorrow. Tomorrow happens to be. Tomorrow happens to be the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride from Boston to Lexington and Concord. And of course, what Paul Revere was doing on that ride was. Was warning people the British are coming, and he was warning the Minutemen and the colonists about an imminent British attack, which, of course, took place a couple of days later. (01:07–01:16)
