A rare chance to see history up close. 📜
July 1–7, The New York Public Library is displaying one of the jewels of its collections: a copy of the Declaration of Independence, handwritten by Thomas Jefferson.
This copy contains significant differences from the text that was ratified by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776—including a lengthy condemnation of the slave trade that was omitted from the final version—and invites us to reflect on the ongoing work to realize the Declaration’s promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
