Dennis Farm Charitable Land Trust's 2025 Lonaé A. Moore Forum

With a shared commitment to presenting a more inclusive—and thus a more accurate—telling of its history, the Museum and DFCLT will host, “It Begins with Each of Us: Fostering Racial Understanding,” a candid conversation about race in our nation’s history at the Museum on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2025, from 1 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.

The theme of this year's forum is “The Declaration of Independence and Equality" and will explore the ways in which, despite its novelty and immediate promise, the Declaration surpassed expectations but also fell short; how its ideals have been adapted and have proliferated but also have yet to be fully realized even to this day.

Panelists include Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center, and Martha S. Jones, a cultural-legal historian and the Society of Black Alumni Presidential Professor at The Johns Hopkins University. The conversation will be moderated by Adrienne G. Whaley, Director of Education and Community Engagement at the Museum of the American Revolution.
