Liberty's Kids Cartoon and Admiral Howe Reference

A clip from the children's educational cartoon "Liberty's Kids" is highlighted for its use of the historical nickname "Black Dick" in reference to Admiral Richard Howe of the British Royal Navy. The hosts find humor in the repetitive use of the name within a juvenile program, noting that the nickname historically referred to Howe's dark temperament.
