SUMMARY:America at 250! – The Legacy of the Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:There have been thousands of books and articles written about the Declaration of Independence\, and its ringing words make an appearance in every American History textbook. Given all of this commentary and interpretation\, is it still possible to understand the Declaration as its authors understood it? In this seminar\, we will discuss the primary sources that best illuminate the Declaration’s meaning and imbue its words with living significance? \nThis program will be conducted as a Socratic discussion\, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings\, and with the Discussion Leader facilitating the conversation\, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants\, therefore\, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.
