@TWilliamsAuthor Congratulations, Tony! A timely and important book for the 250th—I’m looking forward to reading it.

Another great blurb “Divided Over the Declaration!” “Divided” is a timely book for the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the DoI, and a bold invitation to discuss the meaning of the timeless principles of America’s defining document.” Shilo Brooks, GWB Presidential Center

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate America’s 250th birthday next year than to encourage and support the amazing work our nation’s social studies teachers are doing every day! If you are a K-12 educator or have a friend or family member who is, please spread the word!

This year, we are celebrating 250 years of American independence by bringing the ideals of the Declaration of Independence to life in classrooms across the country through our Civics Star Challenge! This is a nationwide opportunity for K–12 educators to spark creativity, discovery, and civic engagement.
