Congress Voting Independence is considered the most accurate known portrayal of the Assembly Room of Independence Hall\, where the vote for independence was taken and where the Declaration was signed. Gordon Simons will discuss the painting’s history\, competing narratives\, and stories it represents. \nImage: Congress Voting Independence\, 1796–1817.
