The United States is not so much an experiment in democracy as various experiences of being a country of diversity. Recognizing and celebrating this pluralistic nation has meant years of growing into liberty for all.
The Fourth of July needs to be recognized along with Juneteenth. And August 26--women winning the right to vote. We need to fully live out the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. Marking October 12 now as Indigenous Peoples' Day is important. And so many other significant days! Freedom and democracy for all is unfinished work. Let's make it happen.
