America wasn't 'really founded' until 1965, MS NOW guest historian argues ahead of 250th birthday

Jon Meacham, a MS NOW guest historian, argues the U.S. as a 'multiracial, multiethnic democracy' was not founded until 1965 due to laws like the Voting Rights Act and Immigration and Nationality Act. Other MS NOW hosts, including Rev. Al Sharpton and Joy Reid, question celebrating the 250th anniversary of 1776, citing the nation's history with slavery and advocating for Juneteenth as a more meaningful start to American democracy.
