NeriAward-Winning and Bestselling Author\, Filmmaker\, and ArtistTh ursday\, August 20th 2026 at 6:00 PM CDT The year is 1976\, and America i s throwing its biggest birthday party ever—its bicentennial. What better way to celebrate than with an eight-thousand-mile road trip? In My Bincen tennial Summer\, author G. Neri recalls his family’s real-life journey i n a station wagon crossing twenty-six states in seven weeks\, from Califor nia to Washington\, DC\, with only the aid of paper maps and transistor ra dios rather than smartphones and GPS.  Young Greg is entranced by the var iety of accents\, strange foods\, natural wonders\, and historical attract ions\, from the Grand Canyon to the Statue of Liberty. He meets Civil War reenactors at Gettysburg\, protesters in Philadelphia\, pioneer wagon ride rs in Valley Forge\, and his own rambunctious Texan cousins. And he glimps es the darker side of traveling as a family of color\, pondering whether “We the People” includes people like him.  Engaging text\, sidebars\, photos\, and dynamic illustrations by Corban Wilkin create a personal sna pshot of this extraordinary moment in US history\, when a weary\, post-Vie tnam nation embraced the spirit of celebration. Back matter includes an au thor’s note\, history and travel facts\, and recommended reading. LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
