## Resource

As America gears up for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, NPR launches “America in Pursuit,” a bold miniseries diving into pivotal moments from the nation’s past — from revolution to AI — to spark fresh conversations about what it means to be American today. Each week, the series unpacks a different archival moment, offering competing visions: one celebrating the Founding Fathers’ sacrifices and treasonous courage, another confronting the nation’s roots in slavery and its founding hypocrisy. And then there’s the Native perspective — reminding us that 250 years is a blink in Indigenous history — that the struggle over who belongs and what America stands for has always been central to its democracy. This isn’t just history — it’s a living, evolving story, full of contradictions, and urgently needing our attention.
