In our latest SaportaReport column, Atlanta History Center (@atlantahistorycenter) invites Atlanta to celebrate the United States' 250th birthday with free programming geared towards the next generation of civic leaders. "Civic Season is a nationwide celebration, spanning from Juneteenth to the Fourth of July, in which hundreds of museums and cultural institutions stage civic and history programs oriented towards the rising generation of young adults. Civic Season helps cultural institutions across the country prioritize those audiences who are just entering adult life and forming their civic identity.

"Atlanta History Center is a proud founding member of Made by Us, the organization that organizes Civic Season. Over the past 5 years, Atlanta History Center has seen the Made by Us coalition grow from a small group to over 500 institutions across the country, who see the opportunity to make the 250th anniversary of the Declaration a chance to connect their home, their audience, and their history to the American Story — and want to take part."
