Few documents have shaped American history more than the Declaration of Independence.
But what did its words mean in 1776? And how have generations of Americans challenged, expanded, and reimagined its promises over the last 250 years?
In the final episode of our special mini-series to celebrate America 250, Master Teacher Sam Futrell sits down with historian Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries to examine the Declaration’s enduring legacy—from the Revolution to the abolitionist movement, the Civil Rights Movement, and beyond.
This conversation reminds us that the Declaration is a living document whose ideals continue to shape the American story.
Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries is an Associate Professor of History at The Ohio State University, author of Bloody Lowndes, editor of Understanding and Teaching the Civil Rights Movement, and host of the award-winning educational podcast Teaching Hard History.
