“The celebration of our 100th anniversary as a nation also took place in a time of trouble, but taking pride was a good thing. We gained strength and looked to the future.” ~ Margaret Mead, famed anthropologist

Aside from her daily "Letters by an American," she and their tireless team share carefully researched and verified political explainers, chats and conversations with peers, experts and leaders - on varied topics that inform and clarify what is going on around us today.
The latest addition to these presentations is "250 to 250" - a collection of 100-word stories documenting the American journey to democracy - narrated by chosen representatives according to the topics covered.
As they have boldly stated on their YouTube channel:
From the time of our country’s founding 250 years ago, the story of America has been one of the constant efforts of Americans - from all races, ethnicities, genders, and abilities - to make real the belief that we are all created equal and have a right to have a say in our democracy.
We will be telling their stories over the next several weeks because now, as ever, “We Are America.”
These stories live on and continue to strengthen the fabric of our nation and our individual efforts to inform and inspire a better future - one that serves the best of what we strive for in this democracy.
