The horse’s tail is all that remains of George III in New York City. On July 9, 1776, New Yorkers pulled down their statue of the king. They reveled in its destruction and decapitation and melted much of its remains into bullets. Join Ben Franklin’s World and Humanities New York for “The Horse’s Tail,” an episode that explores the first dramatic acts of the American Revolution in New York City and how our memories of the event reveal changing meanings of independence, then and now.
