As we will soon celebrate the 250th anniversary of the writing and adoption of the Declaration of Independence, this talk will look back at the events that led to the creation of the "birth certificate" of the United States, and examine its basic ideas and ideals. We will then recall how within a few decades it came very close to being forgotten and thrown into the ash can of history, until it was rescued from oblivion to become the paper that continues to inspire people all over the world. Presented by Daniel Pritchett and hosted by the South Coastal Library in Bethany Beach, DE. Free, ages 18 , no registration is required.
