Language & Liberty: 250 Years of America
About The Event
As the nation marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Planet Word launches Language & Liberty: 250 Years of America – a new 2026 series exploring how the words of American freedom have shaped our democracy — from “Give me liberty or give me death” to “Black Lives Matter.” Through monthly talks, we’ll trace how slogans, speeches, and lyrics have given voice to the nation’s ideals and struggles across generations.
To deepen the conversation, we’ve curated a collection of resources inviting you to reflect on 250 years of American history — its triumphs, its failures, and the promises that continue to call us forward.
