On the fourth of July, the National Archive is supposed to do a live reading of the Constitution in period clothing. Anyone know about this event? We’ve heard about it, but don’t know what time it is ... can anyone help?
0 a.m.–11 a.m.
Declaration of Independence Reading Ceremony
Presentation of colors by the Continental Color Guard*
Performance by the Fife and Drum Corps*
Remarks by Archivist of the United States David S. Ferriero
Dramatic reading of the Declaration of Independence by special guests including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Ned Hector (portrayed by historical reenactors)
*Continental Color Guard and Fife and Drum Corps provided by U.S. 3rd Infantry, the Old Guard
Yes we saw this, hard to catch it and still get a good spot for the parade. Timing is tough but you can do it.
