The logo for the 1976 Bicentennial is still one of the best pieces of public design. 
Though it raises the question - planning for the Bicentennial began in 1966. With the nation’s 250th anniversary just five years away, is there going to be something similar? Is that even possible in a country seemingly as divided as we are today?
The year before (2025) will be the 60th anniversary of both the Voting Rights Act and the Immigration Nationality Act - two bills that transformed the country and set the stage for who we are today. In a different world, you could see a big celebration leading into 2026.
But from the perspective of 2021, query it’s a bit hard to see. Or at least hard to see as a national unifier.
