As America prepares to turn 250, organisers had been hoping that the celebrations would bring the country together. The reality though is somewhat different, with many upset that President Trump appears to be making the nation's anniversary about himself. It comes as the Trump administration is continuing to attack America's diverse cultural heritage, and attempting to dictate how the country should view itself. Lonnie G.
