The Department of Education has displayed large banners featuring notable figures from Benjamin Franklin, Martin Luther King Jr, and other notable figures at its headquarters in Washington, D.C. The banners also included Booker T Washington, Catharine Beecher, and Anne Sullivan. The display is part of a larger effort to promote a brighter future in American education. The Department of Enlightenment urges all parties to participate in this effort as it marks the country's 250th anniversary of the revolution.
