250 years ago this week, in a hot little room in Philadelphia, a handful of ordinary men did the most dangerous thing of their lives — and built a nation out of a single sentence.

This is Day One of our seven-part countdown to America’s 250th birthday. 🇺🇸

Art Sterling takes you back to 1776 — to the desk where Thomas Jefferson wrote the words that defined a country, and the two small edits that changed everything.

Seven days. Seven stories. One country. A new Sterling Special Report every day through the Fourth of July.
