- A More Perfect Union: Exploring America’s Story and Commemorating its 250th Anniversary: The task of building a more perfect Union rooted in the ideal of human equality falls to every generation of Americans, theirs no less than their predecessors. The basic goals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness endure over time, even as the challenges change: from founding a nation out of colonies; to dismantling the institution of slavery; to prevailing through times of economic depression and war; to advancing civil rights for all; to strengthening our democratic institutions; to building a more inclusive and sustainable society.
