The Declaration of Independence
UNITED STATES, JUL 2 – The Declaration of Independence mentions God four times, reflecting the Founders' belief that rights derive from divine authority rather than earthly rulers, historians say.
- For the Fourth of July celebration, a public display featuring the Declaration of Independence was organized in Princeton from July 2nd to 7th near the gazebo by the Gibson County Courthouse.
- This exhibit and related events honor the foundation of America’s core principles, which are grounded in the Declaration’s belief that every person possesses inherent equality and is granted unalienable rights by a Creator.
- The exhibit highlights connections to the Great Seal motto 'E pluribus unum,' the influence of the Book of Genesis, and how figures like Ho Chi Minh drew on American Enlightenment values despite later opposing the U.S.
- Ronald Reagan warned that liberty must be actively preserved by each generation to prevent it from disappearing, while musicians like Frank Sinatra and Janis Joplin conveyed the nuanced significance of American freedom through their performances.
- This observance leads up to the milestone celebration on July 4th, 2026, marking 250 years since the Declaration, and invites reflection on America's core values along with dialogue about revitalizing them for future generations.
