Iconic America: Our Symbols and Stories with David Rubenstein “Fenway Park”

Wednesday, April 26 at 9 p.m.

In this new documentary series, David Rubenstein—co-founder of The Carlyle Group, patriotic philanthropist and lifelong student of history—explores America’s 400-year history through a close examination of iconic national symbols.

Each episode tells the story of an American symbol to reveal its origins and significance, and the arc of its resonance. Rubenstein invites historical experts and community members to examine myriad ways the American public engages with these subjects.

Fenway Park 

Baseball is a favorite American pastime and obsession, and no ballpark is more iconic than Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. This episode tells the story of a city’s loyalty to its team and love for its ballpark through thick and thin.
