This Sunday, Americans will celebrate the 245th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In today’s video, Monticello’s Manager of Historic Interpretation Brandon Dillard discusses what this document meant, what made it revolutionary, and how successive generations have sought to realize the promise of its ringing words.

Be sure to join us for a special Independence Day program on Sunday, July 4, at 1:00 p.m. ET!
