Declaration 1776 Host Application

It's the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Do you know what's in America's founding document and why? Join Humanities Kansas for a special statewide tour of "Declaration 1776: The Big Bang of Modern Democracy,” a traveling exhibit created by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. A special exhibit panel on “Kansas” in 1776 is also included.

About the Exhibition
When the Declaration of Independence was issued, the idea that “all men are created equal” was revolutionary. With this seminal document, the Founding Fathers unleashed an open-ended driving force that would shape modern history. Around the world, other countries have declared independence taking the US Declaration of 1776 as a model. This exhibition uses primary sources to illustrate how Americans and people across the world have been inspired by the Declaration in their pursuit of equality and self-determination.
