PROVINCETOWN — The Fourth of July parade unfolded with the usual pomp and circumstance last Thursday. The town crier and a drum corps led the procession down Commercial Street. Weary-looking kids, perched on flatbed trailers, tossed candy to cheery crowds. The wafting smell of grilled meat mixed with July’s thick, damp air. It was a quintessential Independence Day scene, an ideal backdrop for questions and reflection about this moment in American history.
