A Country’s Story:

When and where do we begin?

This year — July 4 —  marks the 250th anniversary since the United States Declaration of Independence. 

Anniversaries like this matter. For many, they invite reflection, celebration, critique, and conversation.

They ask us to look again at the moments we consider to be foundational. Inspiring. 

But they also raise another question: What came before the beginning we were given?
