Mr. ZIP celebrates the nation’s 250th

A new episode of “Mail with Mr. ZIP” — the animated series on YouTube that aims to increase awareness of the Postal Service among young audiences — spotlights the nation’s 250th birthday.

In this episode, Mr. ZIP and his friends time travel to July 4, 1776, where they witness Benjamin Franklin — a Founding Father and the nation’s first postmaster general — sign the Declaration of Independence.

Afterward, Franklin hands letters to Mr. ZIP to deliver to U.S. historical figures. Mr. ZIP discovers the letters are invitations to a party celebrating the nation’s independence.

Viewers are also introduced to the term “semiquincentennial.”
