SUMMARY:The Declaration’s Promise of Liberty and Equality
DESCRIPTION:In his second inaugural address in 2013\, President Barack Obama said “What binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names.  What makes us exceptional\, what makes us American\, is our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: \n“We hold these truths to be self-evident\, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness.” \nToday\, we continue a never-ending journey to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. Explore a deeper understanding of our country’s most famous declaration in this presentation. \nThis event is free and open to all. No registration is required. It is part of the America 250 initiative: celebrating our nation throughout the year. \nFor additional information\, please contact Susan at susang@dkpl.org or at (815) 756-9568 ext. 2114.
