Humanities Kansas selected Kansas Wesleyan University as the host of its Declaration 1776: The Big Bang of Modern Democracy traveling exhibition from Feb. 7 – March 8.
From Kansas Humanities:
“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 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. See the exhibition along with a special exhibit about “Kansas” in 1776.”
