During the drafting of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, Thomas Jefferson and enslaved valet Robert Hemmings spent several months at 700 Market Street in Philadelphia. The editors and contributors to Declaration House reflect on the history of this site and illuminate the entangled legacy of freedom and enslavement at the core of our nation's founding. They expand our history by revisiting and mapping this historic place in the city and nation, past and present, as a way to tend to our democracy today.
At the center of the book is artist Sonya Clark's revelatory public artwork "The Descendants of Monticello," a multichannel video installation created in collaboration with Hemmings' collateral descendants and others who are related to the hundreds of people enslaved at Monticello. Interviews and essays about the project and the site consider history, memory, and the founding of our country. Like Clark's project, Declaration House asks the timely question, "What does the Declaration of Independence mean to us today?"
