The 250th anniversary of America’s founding provided the impetus for Authentic America. The number of 250 places and events is arbitrary. Instead, think of this book as a lens through which we can see America with fresh eyes. To see why immigrants came here originally and continue to seek out this land of opportunity. To look at the achievements of individuals who overcame adversity, pursued a dream, sought a better life, and fought for their beliefs. To uncover stories representing America’s heartbeat. To tell of the country’s trials and tragedies and, more importantly, how we overcome, adapt, and persevere. Look at how our nation responds to natural and man-made disasters, and you see Americans coming together, helping one another, unified in a cause. While there may be a lot of political and ideological division in our country today, Authentic America showcases our common quest for “a more perfect union” and the “pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness for all.”  Learn More
