Reading the Declaration of Independence: A Conversation About our Past and Present
For the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, join New Yorkers for a roundtable discussion of the Declaration.
What did it mean in 1776?
What does it mean today?
Robert Snyder, professor emeritus of American Studies and journalism at Rutgers University and former Manhattan Borough Historian, will lead our conversation.
Try to read the Declaration before we meet.
