presented by: Our own Society Members
our own Society Members present stories of their ancestors immigrating to the United States.
note: In celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we are reminded of this statement in said declaration:
"Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. "
This presentation is hosted and cosponsored by the Glenview Public library. Presented in partnership with the Glenview Public Library. Please register for either at the Library event page:
