Declaration of Independence at Central Library

Come see this cornerstone of history, by which the United States proclaimed its freedom, stood up to the world's mightiest empire, and dedicated itself to the simple but revolutionary ideals of equality and democracy.

St. Louis Public Library, in partnership with Cricket Wireless and national voter-registration organization Declare Yourself, is proud to present one of 25 surviving original copies of the Declaration of Independence for a free public viewing at Central Library on Saturday, July 26.

Congressman William Lacy Clay will give remarks at 10AM, with the viewing following.  Declare Yourself will register voters throughout the day.

So come out, bring your friends and join us as we celebrate this momentous part of our history.
