Declaration of Independence OutLOUD, Saturday-South Shore, Sunday-North Shore

When was the last time you read the Declaration of Independence? Staten Island OutLOUD has an invitation for you, your friends & family... This weekend, Staten Island OutLOUD gathers neighbors to read the Declaration, plus a few other historic texts. It's a chance to experience our nation's founding document. We'll host two events: one on the South Shore on Saturday, another on the North Shore on Sunday. We'll share our thoughts about the Declaration, and what it means for us today.
