Listen "77 The Mother of Thanksgiving"
Episode Synopsis
The Woman Who Wouldn’t Let Thanksgiving Die
For 36 years, one quiet, determined woman wrote letters, essays, and petitions to presidents and politicians — all asking for the same simple thing: a national day of gratitude. She was ignored by every administration for decades… until her words landed on the desk of Abraham Lincoln during the darkest chapter of the Civil War.
This is the true story of the woman whose persistence shaped one of America’s most beloved holidays — and the twist of fate that finally brought Thanksgiving to life.
