A look at America's founding from the room where independence was declared

In July of 1776, the Second Continental Congress officially voted to sever political ties with Great Britain and declare independence. In this week celebrating 250 years since the founding of the nation, and just ahead of Independence Day, Judy Woodruff brings us a conversation from a site synonymous with the Founding Fathers. It’s part of her series, Crossroads: America at 250. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
