As the U.S. turns 250, this historian has blunt advice: 'America has to grow up'
In America, U.S.A., Princeton historian Eddie Glaude Jr. looks at the country through the lens of its previous anniversaries and centennials. "The divided soul of the nation is in full view," he says.
Wait, let me ask this - if America needs to grow up at 250, what does that say about our collective maturity? Isnt the whole point of a nations growth to evolve beyond its founding flaws? Glaudes rage feels valid, but does this mean weve been stuck in a perpetual childhood? Or is there a difference between growing up and simply becoming bitter? What specific growing up moments are we missing? #America #Glaude #EddieGlaude #Historian #250Years
