AMERICA AT 250

The Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress (CSPC) unveiled their America at 250 "Quarter Millennial Project" today.

In keeping with their founding ethos of applying the lessons of history to the challenges of today, CSPC is embarking on a 2-year project to examine the roots of America’s success, highlight unsung heroes of our country's history, and generate excitement around the 250th anniversary. Through events, digital content, and publications, CSPC will examine two key features of the nation’s evolution, innovation and democratic resilience, to help explain America’s path to success over the last 250 years.
