Scholars in Residence Program for teams of scholars to work with middle and high school teachers and students using the Bill of Rights, the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence to examine the concepts of disagreement and protest in American history.

The Delaware Humanites Forum will present programs, some by its own initiatives and others in partnership with similar agencies, to examine the concepts of disagreement and protest in all its socially acceptable forms: letters, songs, banners, marches, sit-ins, rallies, etc. The Bill of Rights, the U.S. Constitution, and theDeclaration of Independence, our letters of government, will be the foundation for each part of the variety of programs that will focus on the social action of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
