Learn how you can use this example of democracy in action as a tool to teach your students about the past history, present reality and future potential of our democracy and how to they can engage as better citizens.

From a colony that evolved into the capital and now aspires to be the 51st state, see how our quest for equality through statehood is a living real-time example of our democracy and how politics, partisanship and power shape the world we live in today.
