John Quincy Adams: Militant Spirit

On this episode of Our American Stories, he was nearly censured, recalled, and was "yesterday's news"...but the golden moment of his career came in his 70s when this last living link to the Founding Fathers stood up in the Supreme Court in support of enslaved Africans. James Traub tells the remarkable life story of John Quincy Adams, a man truly in a party of one.
