The Declaration of Independence: Text and Context – Liberty 250® Lecture

At Fraunces Tavern Museum

Whitehall

Federal judge Douglas Ginsberg unpacks the Declaration's lasting questions — why it was written, what it meant to signers, and why it still matters 250 years later. A rare chance to hear a sitting jurist dig into America's founding document at the tavern where Washington bid farewell to his officers.
