Happy Fourth of July
"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."
"Freedom is never given; it is won."
Many years ago, Americans made a choice: to be free of oppression. They won it with the blood of 70,000 patriots. On this day, we celebrate the "Liberty" in Thomas Jefferson's famous quote in the Declaration of Independence and the price paid to "win" that liberty in the quote from labor-union and civil-rights activist A. Philip Randolph.
Happy Independence Day.
