Let's Hear It for "America the Beautiful"

With all of the election rhetoric, we are hearing a lot about what's wrong with our country. "America the Beautiful" provides a nice contrast, with its emphasis on the beauty of our country. The striking artwork by Chris Gall gives new meaning to the words of Katharine Lee Bates' 1893 poem "America the Beautiful." Yes, that's the same poem that Samuel A. Ward put to music and that has become one of our country's most beloved songs.
