Humanities Kansas Declaration Conversations

In honor of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Humanities Kansas, in partnership with 51 Kansas communities, brought America’s founding document to life through Declaration at 250. Produced by Humanities Kansas and the Creative Impact Alliance, the film captures the spirit of Kansans coming together for readings and discussions about the Declaration of Independence in Belleville, Franklin, Overland Park, and Tonganoxie.
