From July 4, 1976, here is some coverage of some Bicentennial events from ABC News and Harry Reasoner, beginning at 1 PM EST. This came in to me from a trade, and was obviously taped on Beta, since VHS hadn't been invented yet! All station breaks and commercials that were on this recording are included!

As a child on 4 July 1976, it was a beautiful day of celebration to be an American and to be a military family!! Our 200th celebrations were throughout that summer and humanity was at its best in my worldview at the time. We can all love and respect one another and celebrate every day our democracy continues, God Bless You and God Bless Our United States of America and thank you for this footage!!! 6th Great Niece of President George Washington ❤🇺🇸🗽

I look forward to the 250th anniversary in 2026 but sometimes I wonder if the country can hang in there til then.

What a wonderful time. The centennial was full of extreme optimism and pride if American ingenuity , industry and conquest of the western frontier in 1876 The 1976 bicentennial was a celebration of all that is American. Our achievements in culture, science, industry, our democracy, our great experiment in democracy.

What a Great day that was for the entire country.. I can still remember that 76 Spirit throughout the whole 1976 year. There was a harmony of American pride I’d never experienced before or since then. How strong our Republic was... l miss that America deeply. USA!!!

Reasoner looks very much like a guy who got stuck working on a Sunday that happened to be the Bicentennial.

I can only hope we make it to 2076 for the Tricentennial.

The Bicentennial was almost overshadowed by Operation Entebbe in Uganda.
