Celebrate the U.S.A.?

 As this country prepares for the 250th anniversary of its founding, how can we celebrate without being uncritical of its history? Princeton Professor of African American history Eddie Glaude Jr. says we have a MAGA embrace of American Civil Religion. Rather, the U.S. has always been on the road to a more perfect union. Cohesion can't come at the expense of diversity and the erasure of people in favor of a lily white America. It's a fantasy to think the foundation of the USA stands outside of history being a divinely sanctioned nation.
