America Centennial April 13, 2009
America is celebrating 100 years in publication! Through April 13, 2009, America will
feature articles and online features looking at the storied history of the magazine; excerpts from some
of our "greatest hits" of our top writers in the last 100 years, and even some humorous "hits and misses,"
which the magazine gave poor reviews to good books, and good reviews to bad public figures. We invite you to
browse through our selection of centennial features posted under the
America Century link.
Our centennial year celebration concludes with the expanded April 13, 2009 commemorative issue. Included will be top
Christian writers, like Elizabeth Johnson and Timothy Radcliffe, as well as our “greatest hits,” and
congratulatory messages from our friends and supporters. Join us in our centennial celebration by
reserving your ad space today.
