The people who care about the preservation of democracy and who
have worked to expand its values truly represent America, On the
occasion of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the
Declaration, we are launching 250 to 250, a series that honors
them, It is a series of one-minute videos that emphasize the
agency of everyday people to change the country, The videos
celebrate community, democracy, innovation, mobility, civil
rights, education, conservation, and creativity, Topics range
from the Battles of Lexington and Concord and the building of the
Erie Canal to the story of the AIDS quilt and the legacy of
actress Rita Moreno, Narrators include former Senator Jon
Tester, journalist Sylvia Salazar, and former secretary of
transportation Pete Buttigieg; Now, as for the past 250
years, “We Are America.”
