It’s three years until the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, but festivities and planning are already starting.
The country is headed toward the anniversary date as it remains riven politically, its citizens divided over how to view the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol and whether President Joe Biden was legitimately elected. Even decisions on where to shop or what beer to drink have been caught up in political fighting.
Times also were fraught in the run-up to the country’s 1976 bicentennial celebration, which came two years after Richard Nixon resigned his presidency over the Watergate scandal and convulsions over the end of the Vietnam War. It followed a decade that saw the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
“I couldn’t have been more proud than that evening to be an American, and I want my kids to feel the same way,” Rios said in an interview.“I feel like we’ll be successful if as many Americans as possible feel like this is the land of opportunity,” Rios said.
