This July 4th marks the 250th Anniversary of America’s adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout that time, photography, artwork, storytelling, music and other forms of art have captured this country’s history and told its story from its beginning to today. This milestone anniversary does not exist within a vacuum. Photography from institutions like the US National Archives, Smithsonian and the Library of Congress show a wide expanse of experiences, triumphs and failures, loss and community building and everything in between. Each moment documented is an important part of this great experiment.
250 years of dreaming big, searching for justice, searching for freedom and documenting it all for those who come after us. That is what photography does. From pivotal moments in American history to quiet ones, a place, a person, a fleeting scene, these are images of what it has looked like to live in a country many of us call home, across 250 years.

From the very beginning to today, photography has captured America’s history and told the stories along the way, the struggles, the triumphs, the importance of community. The experiment continues and we hope you’ll keep documenting it. Get out there, take those photos and share them with us on Flickr. It’s a story that deserves to be told and your experiences are part of it. We can’t wait to see it unfold. Happy 250th, America!

NEW YORK (ANP) - De aandelenbeurzen in New York zijn met een gemengd beeld een extra lang weekend ingegaan. Verliezen voor techaandelen drukten op de graadmeters, hoewel nieuwe banencijfers de aandelen van veel andere bedrijven juist hoger zetten.
De breed samengestelde S&P 500 sloot nagenoeg vlak op 7483,24 punten. De door techbedrijven gedomineerde Nasdaq zakte 0,8 procent tot 25.832,67 punten. De Dow-Jonesindex won juist 1,1 procent tot een nieuwe recordstand van 52.900,07 punten.
Beleggers reageerden op het banenrapport van de Amerikaanse overheid, dat wees op een zwakkere groei van het aantal banen in de Verenigde Staten dan verwacht. Aanvankelijk zorgde het voor een winst voor de S&P 500, omdat dit voor de Federal Reserve een reden kan zijn om voorzichtig te zijn met renteverhogingen.
Later drukten met name chipbedrijven op de graadmeter. Zo gingen AMD, Broadcom, Micron, Nvidia en Intel tot 5,5 procent omlaag. Op de Europese en Aziatische beurzen stonden chipfondsen ook al onder druk, na stevige koerswinsten in de afgelopen maanden.
