Independence Day 2007
Posted in Current Events by John E. Pannell on July 4th, 2007 at 2:32 pm It used to be customary on Independence Day to publicly read the Declaration of Independence. That custom has largely disappeared and instead we remember the day with beer and barbeques. The words of Thomas Jefferson have become largely unfamiliar to us.
For the past nineteen years the folks at National Public Radio have perpetuated this tradition with a reading of the Declaration of Independence.
"When asked by an anthropologist what the Indians called America before the white man came, an Indian said simply, 'Ours.'"
