“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator, With certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

The Declaration of Independence, 1776

Celebrate Freedom Week
Celebrate Freedom Week, initiated by state lawmakers in Texas, Florida, Arkansas and Oklahoma, was created to help reverse a troubling trend among America’s students: Many of America’s students don’t know the basics of American history.

Celebrate Freedom Week helps educate students about America’s founding freedoms, focusing on the significance and meaning of the Declaration of Independence. View a video about Florida’s Celebrate Freedom Week program.
