Special Exhibit Preparing to Honor America's 250th Anniversary, Featuring Original Documents that Created, and Continue to Create, the United States of America
NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In 1776, the Signers of the Declaration of Independence proclaimed the novel idea that all men are created equal. Though blinded by the limitations of their experience and prejudices of their day, their vision laid a path for a more equal future. This weekend, Seth Kaller, Inc. will present a "workshopping" preview of The Promise of Liberty, an exciting exhibit that brings together original documents and artifacts that showcase the words that created, and continue to create, the United States of America. In addition to the Declaration, Constitution, and Bill of Rights, the Founding documents include amendments abolishing slavery, providing equal protection of the law, expanding voting rights and more.
The Promise of Liberty exhibit is taking place at the Empire State Rare Book and Print Fair at City College of New York. In addition, the Fair features over 40 rare book, print and ephemera exhibitors from across the country. Visitors can browse books, prints and ephemera on a broad range of topics and areas.
In 2026, the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Seth Kaller plans to take this exhibit nationwide partnering with Sail 4th 250, which is bringing tall ships from 30 nations to help celebrate America's birthday. While the ships visit New Orleans, Norfolk, Baltimore, New York & New Jersey, and Boston, The Promise of Liberty will be part of the educational and entertainment connections on land.
Kaller intends the exhibit tour to present a platform to inspire current and future citizens to construct a better democracy and a stronger civil society. This workshopping exhibit is taking place while Kaller is looking for partners to bring cutting edge technology including augmented reality, immersive media content, and projection mapping that can bring the authentic history to life. Kaller says, "the exhibit will be patriotic, inclusive, historically accurate, unflinchingly honest, and entertaining enough to be remembered."
"When shown together, historic documents like these can remind us that the strength of America comes from the contributions of people of all abilities, colors, creeds, classes, castes, sexes and genders, religions, and walks of life," stated Seth Kaller, historic document expert.
