About
A free exhibition traces competing uses of the Declaration’s language of equality, liberty and rights.
The exhibition treats the Declaration of Independence as both a revolutionary argument and a document repeatedly reinterpreted by people seeking equality and rights. It is a thoughtful, free daytime stop for visitors interested in political history and the long afterlife of founding language.
What to expect
Visit the Special Collections Research Center Exhibition Gallery after the listed 9 AM start. Allow time to read closely: the exhibition focuses on historical arguments, political language and the different purposes to which the Declaration has been put.
