As the United States prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence this summer, momentum is building in Washington to honor one of the nation’s most influential founding families—the Adamses—with a new memorial in the nation’s capital.
Rep. John Moolenaar (R–Mich.) has introduced legislation known as the John Adams – Great American Heroes Act.
“It’s important to recognize the founding family—the Adams family—who is so prolific in American history,” Moolenaar told CBN News. “When you think of John Adams, his son John Quincy Adams—both served as presidents. John and Abigail Adams were the first occupants of the White House. John Adams worked with Thomas Jefferson on a small committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence.”
