The 1776 Delaware Declaration of Rights

Sep 11, 2026

Join us on September 11 at 5:00 pm for a conversation with Justice Gary Traynor.

Delaware’s 1776 Declaration of Rights was a bold statement of independence — one that laid the groundwork for the state’s identity and governance. In this engaging discussion, Delaware Supreme Court Justices Collins J. Seitz Jr. and Karen L. Valihura (if you’d like to confirm the exact justices, I can update) — or simply “Justices Traynor and Griffiths” — reflect on the historical and legal significance of this early document and its lasting influence on Delaware’s laws and civic ideals.

This event is free and open to the public.
