Before television became widespread, political candidates used any means available to bring their message to potential voters. In the mid-20th century, this included a medium that has all but disappeared today: the political comic book. Host Tory Altman talks with curator Larry Bird about the Museum's collection of these unique artifacts. The "Founding Fragments" video series gets up close and personal with historical treasures in the collection of the National Museum of American History.
