Lillian Graybeal, a second-grader at Northside Elementary, won a contest for her song-writing and won a chance for her school to host the Declaration of Independence.
The original copy will be on display today from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. The public is invited to attend and view the document.
The copy that will be on display is one of only 25 known copies of the Declaration which were printed by Philadelphia printer James Dunbar. Some 200 copies of the Declaration were made before its signing to be distributed to the 13 colonies. The copy which will be on display is owned by Hollywood producer Norman Lear.
Graybeal won this honor for her school by entering a contest in which she was challenged to re-write the words to the Keith Caradine song "Born American". The contest was sponsored by Milk Rocks “Declare Yourself Born Again American” in conjunction with the national nonprofit Born Again American Foundation.
