As America continues to celebrate 250 years, host Tim Boyum looks into whether independence was actually declared in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, more than a year before the Declaration of Independence we know today. It's known as the "Meck Dec," and it's a great and fascinating source of discussion and controversy in the world of history. Author and Pulitzer-nominated correspondent Dave Fleming joins Tim to talk about his book, "Who's Your Founding Father?" which tackles that very topic. Fleming, a North Carolina resident, has written for Sports Illustrated, ESPN the Magazine and Meadowlark.
