Sandwiched In with Janis Schachter - Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

Event Details

Port Washington Public Library, 1 Library Dr, Port Washington, NY, 11050

How has our interpretation of the words of the Declaration of Independence changed over time? What do they say about our identity as Americans? Who IS an American? And who is a person, entitled to the natural rights outlined in our founding document?  Join Janis Schachter, a former journalist-turned social studies teacher as she explores these questions and the founding principles of our nation.  Ms. Schachter was the New York State Council for Social Studies distinguished educator in 2020, and in 2021 was named a silver laureate by the international organization Global Youth and News Media for her work in news literacy.

This program is part of the Library's celebration of America's 250th Anniversary.
