June 4, 2026\u00a0–\u00a0June 6, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

July 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. This central moment in American history has shaped our national self-perception for 250 years even as writers and scholars have debated the origins and meaning of the events of 1776 from the time they occurred until today. Inspired by these discussions and the national commemoration of independence, the David Center for the American Revolution at the American Philosophical Society is convening a conference in June 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What beliefs turned a diffuse movement protesting imperial policy into a radical republican revolution in 1776? How did the events of 1776 play out in the communities that experienced them? How did independence change American society? And how have the legacies of independence shaped America? This conference will bring together scholars, public intellectuals, leaders of cultural organizations and others who have an interest in the Revolution and its commemoration to examine and debate these and related questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
