On This Day: August 21

Encyclopædia Britannica's Kurt Heintz explores a series of debates that may change the way you think about Abraham Lincoln. Later, a segment on Nat Turner's rebelion—and the end of the Southern myth that Black people were content with enslavement. Fast Facts take a look at four Grammy Awards and three ACMAs for Kacey Musgraves, plus birthdays for Kenny Rogers, Usain Bolt, Count Basie, and Kim Catrall.
Host: Kurt Heintz.
