ICONIC AMERICA: OUR SYMBOLS AND STORIES examines the history of America through some of its most iconic symbols, objects and places, diving deep into each symbol’s history and how its meaning has changed over time — using them as a gateway to understanding America’s past and present. From flags and statues to revered landmarks, people live alongside and interact with history every day. In each episode, David Rubenstein — co-founder of the Carlyle Group, acclaimed philanthropist, and lifelong student of history — explores a symbol from history.
From Fenway Park and the Hollywood Sign to the Gadsden Flag and the Statue of Liberty, these seemingly familiar items have deep, significant and often surprising origins, with meanings connecting everyone to America’s past. Historical thinkers, community members and other experts join in dialogue with Rubenstein on location. Spurred by Rubenstein’s insatiable curiosity and lifelong interest in American history, these conversations drive the narrative and frame it through analysis, reflection, and counterpoint. These are the stories of the country’s history, and also the story of America today.
