Description
Did you know the Declaration of Independence wasn't complete on July 4? It took nearly a month from the vote to the final signature on this important document. Discover the forgotten turning point that helped launch a new nation.
Before It Became History, a podcast series from the Sandra Day O’Connor Institute, explores the people and moments that shaped the American story. Each episode looks beyond the legend to examine the decisions, conflicts, and ideas that tested the promise of liberty and helped define our democracy.
This is history before it hardened into memory — and a conversation about what it means for us now.
