Declaration 1776: The Big Bang of Modern Democracy
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 by taking the US Declaration of 1776 as a model. This pop-up panel exhibition uses primary sources from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History to illustrate how Americans and people across the world have been inspired by the Declaration in their pursuit of equality and self-determination.
