One Thousand Words is dedicated to exploring the world that art has made by offering brief, meaningful looks into the historical impact of major artistic and cultural milestones. Films, music, concerts, paintings, theatre, dance, sculpture, literature, poetry and more have made our lives what they are today. Let's look back together to see how.
Listen to the final episode of Season 1 of One Thousand Words, where we tell the story of a dance even more dramatic than your middle school homecoming. Someone's about to get banished. #podcast #ThomasMorton #maypole #dance #Americancolonies
