American Association of State and Local History: How Gen Z Wants to Celebrate America’s 250th
"The most important practice for younger generations is to remain aware, imaginative, and hopeful. To reckon with the histories that our nation holds and familiarize ourselves with our current condition, and, at the same time, become invested in forging a path forward. We should see the 250th as an opportunity to focus on the questions: “What kind of future can I imagine that makes me and my loved ones feel the most free, the most nurtured by our communities, and feel the most safe within and outside of ourselves?" -- Jasmine Lewis, 2024
