"A Republic, If You Can Keep It" | America 250

"A republic, if you can keep it." That's what Benjamin Franklin told a stranger on the street in Philadelphia in 1788, the day the Constitutional Convention finished its work. He was 81 years old. She asked him what kind of government they'd just built. His answer is still the central question of the American experiment, and 238 years later, it remains unanswered. Humanity. Untold. is a new long-form interview series, a global cinematic archive chronicling the lived experiences of people around the world, one life and one place at a time.

Our first subject is James H. Lumley, presidential historian, author, and collector, who has spent 35 years building a private presidential library one estate sale, one antique store, one treasure at a time. Surrounded by the portraits of 45 men who have led this country, James walks us through the decisions that built the republic, the moments it nearly broke, and the question of whether it can survive another 250 years.
