        <description><![CDATA[<p>The US Mint director, David Ryder, has mentioned a joint venture project between the US Mint and the British Royal Mint in the celebration of the 400th Anniversary of the Mayflower.  He has stated, that the Secretary of Treasury has approved this project.  Details are in the video and article listed below.</p>

<p>Overall, I think the US Mint is heading into a positive direction; and let us hope that the designs are fantastic and are representative of the US, Britain, and the Mayflower.</p>

<p>Challenging the Status Quo: An Interview With U.S. Mint Director David J. Ryde</p>

<p>"This is always a work in progress, but I have an interesting program with the British Royal Mint on the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower landing in America. We are working a joint project with them that has come quite a long way. I hope to have that out yet this year, and the Royal Mint is very keen on the partnership."<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://forums.collectors.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&amp;target=https%3A%2F%2Fcoinweek.com%2Fus-mint-news%2Fchallenging-the-status-quo-an-interview-with-u-s-mint-director-david-j-ryder%2F">https://coinweek.com/us-mint-news/challenging-the-status-quo-an-interview-with-u-s-mint-director-david-j-ryder/</a></p>

<hr /><p>Providing some information on the Mayflower's 400th Anniversary.</p>

<p>"2020 marks the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower from Plymouth UK to Plymouth Massachusetts.<br />
This is a unique opportunity to commemorate the legacy of the passengers and crew who undertook the journey and to highlight their stories and heritage, which is embedded in communities across the UK, US and Netherlands.</p>

<p>The Mayflower 400 programme has been created to leverage this opportunity, aligning 11 core destinations in England with wider local, national and international partners and over 20 million US citizens descended from the Mayflower. It will deliver a world-class series of events, public art and wider content that will commemorate this exceptional voyage and provide a major ongoing impact across the partnership, knitting together communities, inspiring creativity and culture, driving economic growth, and promoting understanding and education.</p>

<p>Mayflower 400 will champion the values of freedom, faith and personal liberty that informed the original journey, and which continue to be articulated in the special relationship between the UK, US and Netherlands. At the same time, the commemoration will recognise the impact of the Mayflower’s journey on Native American communities and address themes of colonialism and migration, providing an accurate, inclusive account of the Mayflower’s legacy.</p>

<p>Together, we will draw inspiration from our past to steer our future – from now, to 2020, and for generations to come."</p>

<p>"Plans for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower have been announced. Here’s what’s happening."</p>

<p>Tribe, 3 countries plan 400th Pilgrim anniversary in 2020<br />
March 15, 2019</p>

<p>BOSTON (AP) — Native American leaders are teaming up with groups in the U.S., Britain and the Netherlands to ensure next year’s commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrim landing showcases the harsh legacy of colonization.</p>

<p>Events are planned in all three countries in 2020 to reflect on the Pilgrims’ arrival in 1620 in what is now Massachusetts.</p>

<p>Organizers gathered Thursday at the New England Historical Genealogical Society to firm up plans for yearlong remembrances of the Mayflower’s voyage — and the disease, racism and oppression native people suffered after the European settlers arrived.</p>

<p>Wampanoag activist Paula Peters, who has been insisting on an unvarnished look back, said Friday the tribal perspective is getting “a lot of support.”</p>

<p>Past commemorations have glossed over the suffering.</p>

<p>“We’ve been marginalized and sanitized,” Peters said. “This isn’t about restorative justice. We’re not going to get that. But I feel like we’re being given an ample platform to tell our story.”</p>

<p>Commemorations also are planned in Britain and the Netherlands, where the Pilgrims spent more than a decade before sailing to the New World.</p>

<p>“This project explores centuries of shared history between Britain, Holland and America,” said Charles Hackett, CEO of Mayflower 400, which is organizing events in Britain. British organizers hope to draw visitors there and “increase awareness of this pivotal event,” Hackett said.</p>

<p>Michele Pecoraro, executive director of Plymouth 400 Inc., a nonprofit group organizing yearlong events, said the 2020 commemoration will differ markedly from the 350th anniversary in 1970, when the Native American voice was largely a footnote.</p>

<p>“The way the story is being told is different than past commemorations because each of the four nations involved are at the table together for the first time,” she said.</p>
