America250
America250 is the national commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. It's an opportunity to reflect on how the past 250 years, guided by the belief that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” have made the United States of America what it is today.
