    Proclaiming Liberty: The Story Behind the Declaration of Independence

    As America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the Goldwater Institute held a special webinar discussion on Timothy Sandefur’s new book "Proclaiming Liberty," a powerful exploration of the ideas that gave birth to the American experiment in freedom, hosted by Mike Brownfield, Goldwater's Vice President of Communications.Proclaiming Liberty revisits the revolutionary year of 1776 through the minds of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, two men whose words and ideas gave birth to modern liberty. Sandefur’s engaging narrative brings to life the “American mind” as those extraordinary Founders sought to express it—their arguments, ideals, and enduring beliefs in natural rights and self-government.
