As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, young Americans are weighing in on what it truly means to be American in today’s world.
Student podcasters from across the country took on the challenge of exploring one of the nation’s most enduring questions: what do the founding ideals of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” look like for young people living in America today?
The project brought together some of the best student-produced podcasts tackling American identity, offering a window into how the next generation views their country as it reaches this major milestone.
From personal stories to broader social reflections, these young voices are adding their perspectives to the national conversation at a moment when the country is pausing to consider where it has been — and where it is headed.
