"The American Revolution," the latest work from filmmaker Ken Burns, continues airing this week on PBS. The six-part, 12-hour history of the war of independence from Britain, and the beginnings of the American experiment in democracy, comes at a moment of deep divisions. Jeffrey Brown has our look for our Art in Action series, which explores the intersection of art and democracy as part of our CANVAS coverage. | PBS NewsHour
