Happy 4th of July -- KCPW's Public Square Returns Monday, July 7, 11 a.m.

Join KCPW, 88.3 and 105.3 FM, Friday, July 4, at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. for a special documentary - HumanKind: Dreaming of America.

What's the American dream now as our country looks to the future and prepares to pick a new administration? This documentary features voices of citizens reflecting on what Americans yearn for at this time when our country prepares for a new era and a new administration. After one of the most tumultuous periods in American history, how can we find common ground to solve a long list of pressing problems? We hear from:

• tourists standing in line to view the original Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution

• a 23-year-old ex-marine who was injured in Iraq

• an NBA basketball star who founded an organization for democracy

• young environmentalists worried about global warming

• fans in the stands before a major league baseball game and others.
