As we in the US celebrate our Independence Day, it was been brought to light that Francis Bellamy (author of the Pledge of Allegiance, who was born in the next town from mine) may not be the original author, that he may have plagiarized it. However, he did promote the oath with one word change, from inseparable to indivisible, in a magazine for teens, The Youth's Companion, with a campaign to place a flag in every classroom in the America. Happy 4th of July!
