America250: Diverse Voices and the Declaration
"When shall he be satisfied? A roving skulk, first; a natural liar, next; and withal a murderer, a tyrant." America250 invites us to look closely at historic documents outlining grievances and freedoms, and consider whether they applied to all Americans.
