As this season of gratitude begins, I want to take a moment to thank each of you. This year — marked by the loss of federal funding for public media — has tested TPT in ways we’ve never faced in our nearly 70- year history. Yet you didn’t hesitate. You stood with us. You spoke up to elected officials. You gave generously. You believed in our mission and refused to let it falter. Because of you, we’ve kept moving forward. We’re deeply thankful — and more committed than ever. This month, we’re thrilled to deliver some of the year’s most powerful and anticipated stories. On November 16, acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns launches his monumental six-part, 12-hour series, "The American Revolution." This sweeping documentary takes us deep into the birth of our nation — spotlighting the people, the conflicts, and the ideals that still shape our democracy today. November is also Native American Heritage Month, and we are honored to highlight stories from Indigenous voices. On November 24, “Bring Them Home” shares the story of the only tribal-led buffalo drive in North America with the Blackfeet Nation, and offers a moving narrative of a young Blackfeet girl’s path from trauma to recovery. And on November 28, our own original TPT production, “The Electric Indian,” explores the remarkable and deeply human journey of Henry Boucha, Olympic medalist, hockey legend and Native leader. Closer to home, we’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of Be My Neighbor Day on November 15. For a decade, this special event has filled our studios with joy, as children and families gather with Daniel Tiger to celebrate kindness, community and connection.
