On the eve of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Oliver Franklin talks to @noosphereapp about his new @PBS film Becoming American. Through the lens of the city of Philadelphia, Oliver's film examines the long struggle for equality by those excluded from the declaration. The iconic phrase "All men are created equal" had a power the Founding Fathers didn't fully realise, says Oliver, because "even people without those rights had a license to fight for them." noosphere.app/we-have-not-co…

How will you be celebrating America's 250th birthday? Filmmaker @KenBurns, who made the landmark @PBS series The American Revolution to celebrate this milestone, told @noosphereapp he'll be marking July 4th as he always does - by reading the Declaration of Independence.

David Miliband, President of the @RESCUEorg , tells Noosphere the framework deal reached by the US and Iran reflects the fact that both sides needed a way out. “For many of us, we can’t see a situation where the war is well and truly over. What we know is that it’s been suspended.”  The war with Iran has upended the supply of humanitarian aid around the world, as fuel and fertilizer supplies have been disrupted due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and costs have risen. “What we’re dealing with now is chronic uncertainty,” @DMiliband tells @LauraTrevelyan . noosphere.app/all-the-record…
