A Letter To Series: August 23

For the first time, A Letter To... is coming to you this way. Rather than gathering in a room to hear the letter, this month's story has been recorded so it can be shared with anyone, anywhere. August 23 may seem like an ordinary date on the calendar. But spend a little time looking at what has happened on this day, and you'll discover a surprising collection of stories—some famous, some nearly forgotten, and some that remind us that history isn't always about the moments that make the headlines. So settle in for a nearly 20-minute journey through August 23. And be sure to stay until the end. I'll reveal the subject of the next A Letter To...—and if you're a Philadelphia Eagles fan, you may want to stick around. And please consider liking or subscribing!
