 Zoom!\n\nBest\, Lynne Farrington and Jessica Peterson\n\nDr. Emily Sneff\, 
 a leading expert on the history of the Declaration of Independence\, will 
 share some of the stories behind the first printings of the founding 
 document of the United States. From spelling errors and typesetting 
 challenges to copies of the Declaration that ended up in unexpected hands\, 
 this presentation will explore the process of declaring independence. It 
 will connect the first printings to the core themes and material focus of 
 the Common Press's America 250 programming. \n\n  \n\nBio: \n\nEmily
