## Resource

Fifty years ago, America erupted in bicentennial pride—parades, TV specials, and a nationwide sense of unity amid political turmoil and economic strain. Today, as we near the 250th anniversary, the celebration feels quieter, with competing events and a reluctance to even say “semiquincentennial.” Yet, the spirit of community endures: a high school band, a giant Statue of Liberty puppet, and even a compost truck are rallying to mark the moment—proving that even in a changed world, Americans still find ways to come together and celebrate.
