The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum presents the first program in its “America250 Film Series” with a screening of the Academy Award-nominated film "1776" (1972).

"1776" is a musical celebration of the founding of the United States based on the award-winning Broadway production. The story centers around familiar historical characters as they organize a movement for independence from England: the tough and unyielding John Adams (William Daniels); the charming and pragmatic Benjamin Franklin (Howard Da Silva); the brilliant Thomas Jefferson (Ken Howard), who is chosen to write the Declaration of Independence even as he longs for the company of his new bride Martha (Blythe Danner); and the rest of the Continental Congress. All events lead up to that most significant date of July 4, 1776, when the Declaration was signed.
