'Good Morning America' launches '50 States in 50 Weeks: America the Beautiful' for its 50th anniversary and the U.S. 250th anniversary. Each week features a visit to a state, spotlighting a local changemaker alongside its culture, history, traditions, and landmarks. The series commenced in Delaware, where Ginger Zee highlighted the heroic lifeguards of Rehoboth Beach and their commitment to community safety. Stories will be featured across the U.S. through July 2026, with weekly updates on which state will be celebrated next.
"I can't think of a better way to kick off this journey than in Delaware, our very first state," Zee said. "Meeting the Rehoboth Beach lifeguards and seeing their commitment to community and safety perfectly captures the spirit of what this series is all about, especially ahead of Fourth of July weekend."
Each week, a 'GMA' anchor or correspondent will visit a new state, following the order in which they joined the United States, to spotlight a local changemaker and showcase the state's unique culture, history, traditions and landmarks.
