July 4, 2026, will mark the 250th anniversary of American independence. It will be an occasion for celebration and reflection on the origins and present state of the country. “We Hold These Truths: America at 250” is an initiative by the American Enterprise Institute aimed at reintroducing Americans to the unique value of their national inheritance. In this trailer, hear from Yuval Levin, the director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies and Beth and Ravenel Curry Chair in Public Policy at AEI, on the questions we should never stop asking about the nation’s founding.
As part of the “America at 250” initiative, AEI offers a major intellectual and educational book series edited by Levin, Adam J. White, and John Yoo that studies issues central to the founding era, organizing them into eight distinct themes. AEI is also convening leading scholars of history, political science, law, and other disciplines to tackle key questions about the American Revolution’s legacy. The nation’s 250th birthday is a remarkable opportunity to draw on the past to have better conversations about what our nation stands for, what core commitments it requires of its citizens, and other starting points for thinking fruitfully about our shared public life.
