SUMMARY:Topsham Museum Lectures: It is their right, it is their duty
DESCRIPTION:“‘It is their right, it is their duty’: 1776 and the US Declaration of Independence.”\n \nBy Dr Henry Knight Lozano, University of Exeter\nThursday 9th July, 11am, at Matthews Hall\nEntrance £6 payable at the door. Doors open 10.30am.\nMarking the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence, this talk will introduce and explore the most famous and celebrated declaration in American history. It will consider the context for independence and revolution, the authorship of the declaration, the grievances it levelled at the British Crown, and the critical appeal it made to the international powers of the day. It will also touch upon some of the tensions inherent in the Declaration and the remarkable afterlife of its call for independence.\nHenry Knight Lozano is co-director of Liberal Arts and an award-winning historian of the United States based at the University of Exeter. He is the author of two monographs (Tropic of Hopes: California, Florida, and the Selling of American Paradise, 1869-1929 and California and Hawai‘i Bound: U.S. Settler Colonialism and the Pacific West, 1848-1959); the co-editor of a book collection on the 1965 Selma civil rights march and its legacies; and the author of numerous journal articles on aspects of American History. He is currently finishing his next book, which is provisionally entitled Reptile Frontier: A History of Florida from Bartram to the Boom.\n
