About Symbols of America

From the thirteen original stripes to the bald eagle gazing from the Great Seal, America's national emblems carry centuries of meaning in every line and feather. The Pledge of Allegiance, first recited in 1892, became a daily classroom ritual; "The Star-Spangled Banner," penned after the bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814, was made the official national anthem in 1931. These symbols, carved in marble, stitched in cloth, or lifted on a torch above New York Harbor, speak a shared language of memory and aspiration.
