“Announcement of the Declaration of Independence First Public Reading”

How would you react to hearing the Declaration read in your community?
With whom would you share the news?
What action would you take after hearing it?
How would this have impacted your life?

Please see Mr. Arcuri (Room #440) with any questions.
