Outspoken: Meet the Revolution's artists, spies and other unheralded patriots
About this episode
The episode explores the contributions of lesser-known figures in the American Revolution, focusing on artists, spies, and activists.
As we move toward another Fourth of July, it feels especially urgent to revisit the American Revolution through the lives of people who rarely make it into our textbooks or monuments. Art historian Zara Anishanslin does exactly that by recasting the founding era through the artists — many of them women, enslaved people, and immigrants — who used art, espionage and activism to shape a new nation from unexpected places, including London.
