The “Declaration Conversation” event is an opportunity to learn more about America’s founding document and its impact on the world during the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Participants will read excerpts from the document and participate in a discussion facilitated by Eric Anderson, professor of history at Haskell Indian Nations University and a member of the Potawatomi Nation.

“Declaration Conversations” is part of Humanities Kansas’s “Declaration at 250” activities, including the statewide tour of the “Declaration 1776: The Big Bang of Modern Democracy” traveling exhibition from The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. Support for “Declaration Conversations” has been provided by the State of Kansas through the Kansas Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts and the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund.
