Celebrating Independence Day In America's Fourth Of July City: Seward, Nebraska

On Independence Day, towns and cities across the U.S. pride themselves on their patriotic spirit. But none, perhaps, as much as Seward, Nebraska. The 7,000 person town, located 20 miles west of Lincoln, received the title of Nebraska's "Official Fourth of July City" in 1973, and in 1979, an act of Congress designated it as "National Fourth of July City - Small Town U.S.A."

Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd talks with Clark Kolterman (@clarkkolterman), known in Seward as "Mr. Fourth of July," who has helped plan the town's festivities for almost 50 years.
