Experience this powerful reading/lecture combo presented in Colonial garb

More than an historical milestone, the Declaration of Independence is a masterful use of language. This talk examines the Declaration of Independence as a bold piece of writing designed to persuade, provoke, and endure. Blending rhetorical analysis with a full reading of the text, it brings the document to life as a spoken argument rather than a static artifact, and approaches the Declaration through the lens of voice, rhythm, and the enduring power of words. Presented in colonial garb.
