The Trump administration is pushing a new official narrative for America’s 250th birthday. Dubbed “America 250,” the project aims to restore what officials call “truth and sanity” to the national story. Critics say this revision leaves out key parts of the past, including slavery and the dispossession of Native American lands.
In response, a “pro-truth” movement is organizing. Citizens and historians are pushing back against what they see as a selective retelling of history. The fight over how America remembers its past is now underway.
