Two days ago, I had the privilege of presenting my program of “Ben Franklin, Live” before a community meeting in Franklin, NC. It would have been delightful if the town had been named after old Ben. But both that town, and the short-lived “State of Franklin” were named after a local leader, Jesse Franklin, sad to say.
The whole program is about 90 minutes long. But it is cut into ten segments. The first three are the set speech that Ben offered. The remaining ones are all spontaneous, in response to questions from a relatively strong audience, who are interested in the Constitution. Here’s the web address for those segments:
