A History of the United States in 100 Objects

America's 250th birthday calls for a history as sprawling and contradictory as the country itself. A History of the United States in 100 Objects — hosted by Roman Mars, produced by BBC Studios and 99% Invisible — tells that history one thing at a time. A gold coin. A schoolbook. A ceramic dalmatian. Each object opens the door into an extraordinary, often shocking story about who we've been, what we've built, and what we've forgotten. 100 objects. 100 stories. A new history hiding in plain sight.
