Discovery's Great American Tour hits Houston
Over the past several months, The Discovery Channel has been promoting an interesting project called the Greatest American of All Time. During a road show promoting the contest, Americans from all over the country have been nominating other Americans who they believe have had the greatest influence on what it means to be an American.
The road tour kicked off last month in Boston and is stopping in Houston over this weekend. The Great American Tour Bus will be at the Art Car Parade on Saturday between 10 and 3 and at the Galleria on Sunday between 11 and 7. Attendees have the opportunity to write a short blog entry essay or give a video testimonial on who they think deserves to be the Greatest American.
The road tour will conclude in June and be followed by a TV series with Matt Lauer of the Today Show that counts down the top 100 nominations to No. 1, who will be named the Greatest American. This appears to be a great project to introduce young children (and older ones, too) to great Americans, so check it out if you're in the neighborhood this weekend.
