How can we hep students broaden their understanding of the founding of the U.S. and its impact on the world? Together, we will hone our primary source analysis skills with an iconic founding document and explore the Library's new exhibition, "The Declaration's Promise," guided by our own wonderings. Participants will also have the opportunity to discover the wealth of free resources available online and onsite for educators and students.

Participants will meet at the Whittall Room on the ground floor of the Jefferson Building (main visitor building). We will station a staff person to direct participants as they enter.
