“You’ll see a special animation when you search for terms related to the anniversary,” a Google press release states. “Try searching for ‘United States Semiquincentennial’ or ‘America’s 250th’ on your desktop or mobile device and watch the page light up.”

“This digital kickoff, which won’t fizzle out until after July 4, 2026, is just the spark. Throughout the year, we’re rolling out additional initiatives designed to actively empower Americans as we celebrate 250 years,” the statement continues. “From bringing America’s natural beauty and shared heritage to life for explorers across the country, to fueling a new era of economic growth by equipping communities with the AI skills for the future.”

The Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, marking the moment when leaders of the 13 American colonies formally broke from British rule, asserting that “all men are created equal” and heralding the birth of the United States.
Royal Hansen, vice president of privacy, safety and security engineering at Google, weighs in on the push to slow AI development, whether the U.S. is equipped to win the AI race on the energy front and the next frontier for innovation.
The White House has dubbed the semiquincentennial celebration as “Freedom 250,” which U.S. Chief of Protocol Ambassador Monica Crowley recently previewed with FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo.
“President [Donald] Trump promised the American people the most monumental and exciting celebration of America in our nation’s history, and he is going to deliver that,” Crowley stated. “We are working in partnership with Freedom 250, which will serve as the executor for the president’s programming vision, aligning and connecting national, statewide, and local efforts to celebrate our exceptional nation.”
“We are planning, through Freedom 250, an entire year of programming to celebrate American patriotism and pride, our extraordinary history, and the bright golden-age future ahead of us, truly showcasing American exceptionalism,” she continued.
Crowley emphasized that the yearlong Freedom 250 celebration will highlight the nation’s spirit through major patriotic events, including a national fair, student competitions, and a grand July 4 salute, all honoring America’s history, pride, and resilience.
