About the Event

As America marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, what are the stories that we have told over generations? What stories do we still have left to tell–in large and small communities across this country? Who gets to tell and write those stories, and ensure they do not disappear?

Together, let’s create The Word at 250.
