America 250.
 
Portion of the Declaration of Independence.
WEDNESDAY, AUG. 5 • 6:30–7:45 P.M.
In 1776, signing the Declaration of Independence was not an act of patriotism; it was an act of treason against Great Britain. Who were these fifty-six men who risked it all? Some of their names are familiar, like Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. Others — like Button Gwinnett — are not. Learn about lesser-known Americans in this talk: who they were, what role they played in independence, and what consequences they suffered after they signed the Declaration.
