But it also entered 1986 as a city divided. Nearly one-third of the city’s Black and Hispanic residents were living below the federal poverty line. Thousands of New Yorkers were sleeping in the streets—and in many cases addicted to drugs, dying of AIDS, or suffering from mental illness.

The Declaration of Independence identified two core principles—independence and equality—that defined the American Revolution and the nation forged in 1776.
