About

The McLean County Museum of History, in partnership with The Dirksen Congressional Center, Not in our Town B-N, Prairie Pride Coalition, Illinois State University Center for Civic Engagement, YWCA, YMCA, Heartland Community College, NAACP, and League of Women Voters, will be engaging in a series of “Democracy Dialogues” to explore and debate four founding principles from the Declaration of Independence.

Each discussion will begin with a short presentation on the historical context of each phrase and why it was included in the Declaration. Program participants will then break into facilitated small group discussions to reflect on what these founding principles mean to them, how they have changed in our society since 1776, how they have been upheld, and what impact they still have on our nation today. At the end of each discussion, participants will be given information about how they can get more involved in our community and become more civically engaged.

Registration is encouraged but it is not necessary to participate. To register, visit (link below)
