“Liberty or Death!”
The state of Virginia held five conventions to discuss governance and ways to defend itself from tyranny. On March 23, 1775 at St. John’s Church in Richmond, Patrick Henry delivered his famous “Give me Liberty or Give me Death!” speech to the delegates of the Second Virginia Convention. This speech was a rally for support against Great Britain.
This is an opportunity to witness history! Join us as we welcome the cast members of the St. John’s Church Foundation to the Mechanicsville Library. The cast will be reenacting the Second Virginia Convention with its defining speech by Patrick Henry. This event will take place inside the library.
