SHARE THIS ARTICLE

In partnership with Massachusetts 250, we’re excited to share a new video series this year dedicated to the 250th. You’ll hear from historians, artists, elected officials, business people, and more, all with a unique perspective on what the American Revolution means to them.

In this installment, we hear from illustrator, muralist, and creative director Jah’Nyah Spencer.

“As an American I feel like I have a right to critique my government with my work,” says Spencer.

Watch more from our series on our YouTube page.
