I just listened to the C-span3 radio show about the tradition of Thanksgiving in America. A question for you-what did/do the native Americans think about this annual event? Seems to me they might be offended at the “role” given to them. Thanks

Anybody know the title and artist of the reggae song at the outro of this Thanksgiving program? “Thank you Lord, for watching over me…. Thank you Lord, for what you’ve done for me… Thank you Lord, etc., etc.”

I just listened to the show and came here to post the same comment. Is there any information about the song that is played in the outro?

That would be Bob Marley’s “Thank You, Lord”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voPE1GaKTjU

President John F. Kennedy officially recognized the first Thanksgiving as occurring in 1619 at Berkeley Plantation in Charles City County, Virginia. The evidence was recognized as such by historian Arthur Schlesinger. This Pilgrim/Northeast-centric claim is 2 years later than the Berkeley event.

But, what they hey, why let the truth stand in the way of persistent public inculcation.

Arrrrrgh……. The Thanksgiving stories are still overpowered by the New England lobby. The ink is hardly dry on the celebration of 400 years of English America — Jamestowne for you NE folks, and we are off again on how Thanksgiving comes from New England. And come on, the FIRST Thanksgiving in 1676 in New England???!!!!! I go along with bumper sticker which came a few years ago out shortly after scientists decided PLUTO was no longer a planet. “Honk if you think Pluto is still a planet.” I say “Honk, if you think the first REAL thanksgiving was at Jamestowne!!!!!!!”

On a more serious note, I think the idea for this website, or whatever it is, it just terrific. For all too long, there has apparently been an unwritten rule of historians, that there must be pain associated with teaching, learning, and sharing history. I say more power to the guys and gals who have created this romp.
