The Redacted Declaration of Independence
Today, in the tradition of that revolutionary broadside, we present the text of the Declaration again—finely letterpress printed and annotated in 3 colors, a sign of our ongoing struggle for change... and an acknowledgement that while there has been progress, we have not yet arrived where we need to be.
Printed letterpress in 3 colors, the Redacted Declaration Broadside beautifully reproduces our most important founding document, both celebrating its noble goals and unflinchingly exposing its inconsistencies and faults. Changing colors and marginal notes reflect centuries of change, from a damning rebuke of slavery (cut from Jefferson’s earlier draft), to the gradually expanding meaning of “All Men”, to the struggles for equal treatment which continue today. We have come a long way in the last 244 years, and though we believe the Declaration still serves as a roadmap to a worthy destination, we know we still have a long way to go to achieve its lofty ideals.
