“Sixteen months before Thomas Jefferson crafted the powerful words that would become our Declaration of Independence, he sat quietly in Richmond’s St. John’s Church, absorbing the oratory of Patrick Henry. Henry’s call, ‘Give me liberty or give me death,’ ignited a revolutionary spirit that Jefferson would later capture on parchment. As we approach July 4, 2026, America’s 250th birthday, Jefferson’s words resonate with renewed importance: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’ These words mark the beginning of our nation. These words inspired men and women, enslaved and free, native and immigrant. These words changed the world forever.” (07/31/25)
