The IU Center on Representative Government recently held a professional development workshop on the Bloomington campus, where Indiana teachers were inspired by American treasures, like one of the remaining copies of the Dunlap Broadside — the first version of the Declaration of Independence that was printed by John Dunlap on the night of July 4, 1776, cared for by the Lilly Library and the @eskenazimuseum. Learn more about the workshop and historic treasures right here at IU: hey.iu.edu/uqO5p
Two people are viewing an exhibit of the Declaration of Independence in a wood-paneled room with large doors in the background. The display case contains a prominent document at the center. People are seated in the background, and there is an IU logo in the corner.
