January 6, 2025 is a significant date in the history of the United States. It marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a document that declared the thirteen American colonies’ independence from Great Britain. The Declaration of Independence was a pivotal moment in American history, and its anniversary is a time to reflect on the founding principles of the United States and the progress that has been made since then.
In the years leading up to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, there has been a growing movement to make January 6th a national holiday. This movement has been supported by a number of organizations, including the National Council on Public History and the American Historical Association. In 2023, the U.S. Congress passed a bill to make January 6th a national holiday, and President Joe Biden signed the bill into law in December of that year.
