About

Loudoun VA250 joins Birch Tree Book Store for our second book conversation. We’ll discuss Danielle Allen’s book, in which she combines personal narrative, academic training, historical context, and rigorous analysis of the Declaration’s wording and structure to argue that the text is fundamentally about the equality of all people. Allen maintains that while most political philosophers treat equality and freedom as in competition-and most politicians focus only on the Declaration’s claims about freedom-a more complete reading reveals that equality is central.
