Commemorating America 250 with inclusive stories

Where We Live

Next year, the United States will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Right now, many organizations are preparing for the anniversary here in Connecticut and beyond.

Today, we’ll hear from some of those institutions about their anniversary plans, the importance of learning from the past, and more.
