From Frederick Douglass’s scathing critique of American society’s failure to live up to its billing, to Alison Owing’s The Damaging Three Words of the Declaration of Independence, and her reply in the ‘aftermath,’ the posts linked to this page will feature many famous and infamous writings and meditations on our Declaration, as well as some that are not so well known.
This project would not have been possible without the immense dedication and talent of Democracy Cafe board member Danielle Olson, who developed this site, as well as the singular contributions of board members Charlynn Duecy, Paul Martin, Sawyer Neale and Dennis Dienst.
