Historian: America’s true founding was in 1965
Presidential historian Jon Meacham argued that the United States truly became a multiracial, multiethnic democracy in 1965, following the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Voting Rights Act. He suggested that, although the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2023, its full democratic inclusivity emerged only in recent decades. Some critics, including figures like Rev. Al Sharpton and Joy Reid, emphasize that America's history with slavery and racial discrimination complicates the true meaning of independence and celebration.
