这支参加游行的华人队伍此次还将带给华府一件珍贵礼物——令人一眼望去就肃然起敬的汉字书法作品——由当代中国最著名的艺术家陶海心先生创作的每幅高9英尺宽近3英尺共4幅的书法。作品中用近2000个方块汉字书写了托马斯 • 杰弗逊起草的《独立宣言》,这件用毛笔写在宣纸上的艺术品使用了名为“大篆”的字体,这种至少3000年前就在中国应用的字体用于在周朝贵族们使用的青铜器上铸字记事。
美中文化协会艺术团能够获得批准参加这次游行,与协会全体会员的辛勤努力分不开,与艺术团的全体演员热情奉献分不开,与协会设定的宗旨目标明确分不开。在过去的几年中,美中文化协会艺术团多次参加和出席了在南加州地区和外地的大型游行和表演活动:
2008年1月1日,美中文化协会腰鼓队参加了在帕萨迪纳举行的第119届玫瑰花车游行,上百万的现场观众和上亿的电视观众观看了游行;
