Historian Heather Cox Richardson launched 250 to 250, a series of one-minute video shorts highlighting U.S. history and culture ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary. Richardson posted an 'Introducing: 250 to 250' clip and follow-up shorts addressing specific topics such as 'Taking on Trump and Federal Supremacy,' the GEO Group’s use of taxpayer dollars, Acadians, and personal recollections of the AIDS crisis. Each segment runs about one minute and foregrounds everyday Americans’ agency in shaping political and cultural change. The series gives viewers quick, source-focused primers that connect contemporary debates to historical precedents as the country approaches its 250th birthday.
