Iconic America 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. In each episode, David Rubenstein - co-founder of the Carlyle Group, acclaimed philanthropist, and lifelong student of history - explores a symbol from history. 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. Join Maryland Public Television (MPT) for a special preview of the second half of the series. Episodes featured: The Statue of Liberty, Stone Mountain, The American Bald Eagle, and The Golden Gate Bridge.
