"How to Celebrate the 4th of July"
Join Hillsdale College in celebrating the birth of our nation, and in recalling what the Declaration of Independence has meant to the cause of freedom and limited government.
"Two hundred thirty-six years ago this Fourth of July, 57 men signed the document that created the American republic. They represented a people of about 3 million grouped in a series of 13 colonies along the eastern seaboard of the United States. They were all wanted men, sought by the commander of the British forces in North America for sedition and treason. He had behind him the resources of the greatest military power on earth. They had behind them the bare beginnings of a government, hardly anything of an army, but something mighty in the way of an idea..."
Read this special Independance Day message from Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn.
Also, remember to set aside a few minutes to read the Declaration of Independence with your family and friends at your 4th of July celebrations.
