SUMMARY:Lecture by Professor Liam Riordan\, “What Should We Remember about the Declaration of Independence?”
DESCRIPTION:This illustrated lecture sets the 250th commemoration of the American Revolution in both a historical and contemporary context. What did the Declaration of Independence mean in 1776? Equally important\, what should it mean to us today?\nLiam Riordan is Department Chair and Adelaide and Alan Bird Professor of History at the University of Maine. He is a specialist on the American Revolution and has a book project about loyalists\, those who opposed the rebellion that created the United States. In 2020 he received the Maine Historical Society’s Neal W. Allen History Award for outstanding contributions to Maine history.\nThis lecture is part of the Revolutionary Belfast Series of programs at the Belfast Free Library to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary and leading up to a display of a rare copy of the Declaration of Independence August 13-15 in the Abbott Room.\nFor more information about the series and to sign up for a time to view the Declaration visit belfastlibrary.org/revolutionary-belfast.
