Celebrating 250 Years of American Self-Reliance: Hillsdale & White House

“On July 4, 2026, we will certainly celebrate 250 years of American Self-reliance. The White Home has partnered with @Hillsdale to tell our story of a rag-tag military defeating the globe’s mightiest empire and developing the greatest republic ever to exist,” the management posted Tuesday.

Hillsdale’s Collaboration with the White House

A Hillsdale speaker informed Politician the university did not take “a cent of federal money” for the video clip lecture series, which it is supplying in collaboration with the White Residence and the Division of Education. (Hillsdale, a private, Christian institution in Michigan, does not accept federal financial aid.).

The Trump management also collaborated with Hillsdale at the end of the head of state’s very first term. In early 2017, Hillsdale officials were part of a payment, chaired by Arnn, that created the 1776 Report, a widely ridiculed record that academics disregarded as unserious scholarship. Critics argued the 1776 Record supplied a whitewashed view of American background, left out Native Americans totally and had multiple citation issues.

Remembering American History

“Part of the function of this collection of lectures is to remember. President Trump does this partly I assume– I do not promote him– yet words ‘once again’ is essential to him. He has a renowned motto that I will not duplicate here, however everyone understands what it is,” Arnn stated. “He wants to do something once more. Something [that’s] already been done, he wants to see it happen once more.”

The initial installation in the collection, according to the article, was a seven-and-a-half-minute video featuring patriotic images and comments from Hillsdale head of state Larry Arnn, that stressed the significance of knowing American history in order to honor the 250th wedding anniversary.
