Celebrating 250 years
Georgia commemorates the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary in 2026, public trust in fundamental American institutions—our government, the law and the courts, and the media—has eroded dangerously, putting the republic at risk at a key moment in our national experience. We believe that a greater understanding of our shared history can strengthen the pillars of democracy and help to restore that trust.
As part of the public commemoration of this milestone national anniversary, the Georgia Historical Society (GHS) has created Restoring Trust in American Institutions: History and the Foundations of American Democracy. Through a series of public programs, published material, and educational resources, GHS explores our shared history in order to educate students and the general public about the vital role that democratic institutions play in sustaining a republican form of government.
Specifically, GHS will emphasize the role that a press free from governmental control has historically played in informing the American people, as a marketplace for ideas, and in holding government and our leaders accountable; the role of an independent judiciary in maintaining the separation of power and the rule of law; and especially how our historic fidelity to the U.S. Constitution and the system of government enshrined therein has maintained the world’s oldest republic and promoted freedom across the globe.
Moment of Reflection
History has the power to remind us of who we are as Americans. The essence of what it means to be an American is contained in the story of our nation’s journey through time.
