Résumé
The story of America you were taught in school is missing about 99% of the people who built it.As the United States reaches its 250th anniversary, the country is about to spend the year retelling the official story for the hundredth time.But there is more to the story. Behind the Founding Fathers, the Civil War, the Greatest Generation, and the moon landing stand millions of forgotten heroes — soldiers, spies, builders, inventors, mothers, and ordinary citizens — whose hidden stories built the nation alongside the names you were taught.This is the celebration the country has owed them for 250 years.Discover American history through the people who actually built it.
