When the Declaration of Independence was issued, the idea that “all men were 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.
This traveling exhibit was produced by the Gilder-Lehrman Institute of American History and will be on display July 1 - July 24 at the Fairfax Museum and Visitor Center, 10209 Main St.
