Education Resources
America250MI Educational Legacy preserves and highlights the educational materials developed and shared as part of Michigan’s commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary.
This section includes educational materials created by The Henry Ford, one of America250MI’s main partners; resources from the National Constitution Center; and the Semiquincentennial curriculum developed by the Lou Frey Institute/C-SPAN to meet the Michigan Social Studies Standards. Together, these resources reflect America250MI’s commitment to civic learning, historical understanding, and meaningful engagement with the ideas, events, and responsibilities that continue to shape American democracy.

"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again."
Maya Angelou
Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
