George Washington and Abraham Lincoln – most of us know their birthday dates.
How about FDR, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush of Barack Obama ?
How about Woodrow Wilson ? Grover Cleveland ?
Ever think about Benjamin Harrison ?
In Indianapolis, Indiana, home of our 23rd President they have.
The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site is the former residence of 23rd U.S. President Benjamin Harrison (1889 to 1893).
A museum there is dedicated to his achievements
and his impact on United States history.
Each year, in March folks stage a Benjamin Harrison Day at the Indiana State Capital Building. A highlight includes a re-enactment of Benjamin Harrison case in the Supreme Court.
In this conversation we speak with Roger Harding from Indianpolis about Harrison, and just why he is recalled each year, and why it should matter to the rest of us.
