In honor of America’s 250th birthday, this episode dives into how educators, students, and families can take part in a once-in-a-generation celebration of the country’s founding. Hosts Jared Taylor and Lindsey Lundeen Crosland speak with Lynn Young from America250, the national commission tasked with organizing the Semiquincentennial. Lynn shares the bold goals behind the initiative: to unite 350 million Americans through service, education, and remembrance. From spotlighting unsung heroes of 1776 to launching nationwide student contests and mobile history exhibits, America250 invites everyone to get involved. Hear how schools can access classroom-ready resources, how students can share what America means to them—and why a national culture of service can shape the next 250 years.
