About this listen

It's a simple title but it has multiple meanings. Johnny Appleseed, AKA John Chapman, actually lived in the early 1800's. In the fall of each year, he collected seeds from the crushed pulp of apples at cider mills and planted them the following spring. The "fruit" of his labor (pun intended) can be seen in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and West Virginia, but what does this phrase mean on a higher level?    It means that we should be planting seeds now that will bear fruit in the future - part of our series discussion of a multi-cultural America.
