The May 20th Society Mission
The May 20th Society promotes Charlotte’s rich history as the first American body to declare independence from Great Britain – more than a year before Thomas Jefferson’s national Declaration. Though the original MecDec was destroyed in a fire some 200 years ago, the spirit of MecDec lives on – a spirit of freedom, leadership and courage.
