A Giant U.S. Constitution coming in advance of Independence Day maybe to your state too

Source-https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/briefs/giant-constitution-coming-to-ohio-in-advance-of-independence-day/

snip-"A huge copy of the preamble to the U.S. Constitution is coming to several Ohio cities. People will be able to sign panels accompanying it before it’s displayed in Washington, D.C. on July 4 — the 250th anniversary of the nation’s Independence."

snip-"Democracy is strongest when people see themselves reflected in it,” they said. “’We The People’ is not abstract — it is a call to participation. This project offers Ohioans a chance to visibly affirm their role in shaping our shared future.”

Maybe your state has this as well. Take your kids & grandkids, so they remember what we once were

Sigh... I really have zero desire to participate in anything related to the 250th. Sadly, I would have felt quite differently had it not been for that asshole prevailing in the last election.

If you are of age you remember The Bicentennial Minute on CBS, 8pm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicentennial_Minutes
snip-"Bicentennial Minutes was a series of short educational American television segments commemorating the bicentennial of the American Revolution. The segments were produced by the CBS Television Network and broadcast nightly from July 4, 1974, until December 31, 1976. (The series was originally slated to end on July 4, 1976, but was extended to the end of the year, airing a total of 912 episodes.) The segments were sponsored by Shell Oil Company, then later by Raid from July 1976 onward."
