## Resource

Two hundred fifty years ago, fifty-six men signed the Declaration of Independence—not just to break from Britain, but to enshrine ideals of equality and consent that still stir debate today. While it listed King George’s abuses—some eerily familiar in modern politics—it also contained contradictions: proclaiming universal rights while upholding slavery. The founders’ vision, born in a nation divided, continues to shape America’s struggle for true equality, voting access, and belonging—revealing that the nation’s story is one of constant striving, not perfection.
