Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David M. Kennedy come together from remarkably different backgrounds, life experiences and points of view to explore the idea of a unifying American creed. Their spirited inquiry frames the stories of a range of citizen-activists striving to realize their own visions of America’s promise across deep divides.
American Creed launches as a nationally televised PBS Special, and as a feature documentary on PBS.org, on Feb. 27, 2018. The date marks the beginning of a robust public engagement campaign including community conversations, classroom activities and local storytelling in cities and towns across the country — all designed to foster a bold national conversation about American ideals and identity.

I believe this video right here is a good example of how America can change and progress if we became more accepting of each other, instead of trying to deny each other. Even though the change was a little bumpy at first the change was more accepted, and soon “it became second nature,” as Ms. Rice explains.

I think it’s completely baffling that the hyphenation has changed from something that was less socially acceptable, to now being a more socially acceptable thing that people should be proud of. To be seen once as denying the American culture is now a symbol of American pride, as a symbol of unity and acceptance that America was meant to be.
