Museums, Monuments, & Quarter-Millennial Project

Civic education, which is vital to America’s future, doesn’t occur merely in schools or in homes but is also profoundly affected by how our nation’s history and heroes are depicted at our monuments and museums. In recent years, such historic sites have increasingly been hijacked by the Left, and the norm is for our founders and pioneers to be reflexively depicted as oppressors and racists rather than as brave, liberty-loving Americans or American heroes.

Likewise, the Quarter-Millennial, or 250th, anniversary of American independence represents perhaps the best chance in the past 50 years—since the Bicentennial—to remind Americans about the extraordinary nature of America’s founding and subsequent history. 

AMSI, in collaboration with policymakers, pundits, and think-tank partners, is combating efforts to denigrate rather than to celebrate America’s rich heritage. And we are working hard to ensure America has the 250th birthday it deserves.
