Independence Day celebrates America’s founding promise.
But as America approaches 250 years, that promise remains contested, expanded and unfinished — especially for communities that had to fight to be included in it.
In Georgia, those questions still shape our politics: voting rights, representation, education, health care, economic opportunity and power itself.
This Fourth of July, we’re celebrating the promise of democracy while remembering that it only works when people keep pushing it closer to what it claims to be.
Happy 250th, America. And happy Fourth of July from PeachPol.
