SUMMARY:Speaker Series: The Virginia Declaration of Rights at 250
DESCRIPTION: The Virginia Declaration of Rights at 250 \n  \nThe Virginia Declaration of Rights\, adopted unanimously by Virginia’s Fifth Convention on June 12\, 1776\, is a seminal\, post-colonial state paper affirming republican principles\, limited government\, and humankind’s natural rights. It is arguably the most imitated of America’s founding documents. Indeed\, it is one of the most influential texts in the American constitutional tradition. Often described as the first modern declaration or bill of rights in America\, it is a distillation of the great principles of liberty and constitutionalism that revolutionary Americans believed were derived from English traditions and\, more generally\, western culture. The Virginia Declaration informed not only core principles of the US Declaration of Independence (1776) but also the language and content of numerous subsequent bills of rights in the respective states and nation. It also made profound innovations to the way Americans viewed religious liberty. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nDaniel L. Dreisbach is a professor in the School of Public Affairs at American University in Washington\, DC. He earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree from Oxford University\, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar\, and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Virginia. His research interests include the intersection of religion\, politics\, and law in American history. He has authored or edited eleven books\, including Reading the Bible with the Founding Fathers (Oxford University Press\, 2017) and Thomas Jefferson and the Wall of Separation between Church and State (New York University Press\, 2002). He has published numerous book chapters\, reviews\, and articles in scholarly journals\, including American Journal of Legal History\, Constitutional Commentary\, Journal of Church and State\, Politics and Religion\, and William and Mary Quarterly. Professor Dreisbach is a past recipient of American University’s highest faculty award for teaching and research.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: The Declaration at the Birth of Our Nation
DESCRIPTION:The Declaration at the Birth of Our Nation \nNNK 250 Speaker Series featuring Dr. Phil Levy \nThe Declaration of Independence has been called “American scripture.” The Constitution certainly has its celebrators\, but there is a unique reverence reserved for the document that Americans see as the nation’s birth announcement. The Declaration’s elegant prose\, and resonant list of complaints represent the melding of English thought and colonial experiences in the years after the Seven Years War. It is all too easy though to keep the Declaration in its protected glass case and not see it as it was seen and reacted to at the time of its drafting. This talk looks at the implications of the Declaration’s critique of the empire and how it was received by a country already at war for its independence and in states (former colonies) that had been busy declaring their own independence well before July 4th. \nAbout the Speaker: \nPhilip Levy is a Professor of History at the University of South Florida and is an Organization of American Historians Distinguished Lecturer. He is the author of several books many of which deal with George Washington both as a person and as a national icon. Where the Cherry Tree Grew: The Story of Ferry Farm\, George Washington’s Boyhood Home (2013) and George Washington Written Upon the Land: Nature\, Memory\, Myth\, and Landscape (2015) focus on the places of Washington childhood. The Permanent Resident: Excavations and Explorations of the Life of George Washington (2022)explores the many sites of Washington’s life and how their stories have been shaped by archaeology and issues of memory and commemoration and won the Society for Historical Archaeology’s James Deetz Book Award. His newest book\, Yard Birds: The Lives and Times of America’s Urban Chickens\, tells a very different story from his other work and explores how chickens and cities have shaped one another.
