In addition to Peter Linebaugh, I also posted an interview with Gerald Horne. I found him to be even more informative, explaining the Declaration of Independence, as a means by the US colonialists, to continue slave labor. After the UK abolished and outlawed
it.

After reading the Peter Linebaugh discussion of The Untold History of the Fourth of July I decided not to give homage to a false narrative.<br class="">

The 4th of July commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence</span>. It is true that some have co-opted it as a celebration of wars that the United States have fought.
<br class="">
<br class="">
<div class="aolmail_aolmail_gmail_quote">The theme of the Champaign County celebration is, ‘Salute To Education,’<br class="">
</div>
<div class="aolmail_aolmail_gmail_quote">This theme is particularly important, especially because we as a country fail miserably at education.

Or we could sit on our couches. <br class="">

As for me and my house, we will join the parade which begins at 11:05 a.m. near First and Florida, continues East on Florida to Lincoln Avenue then proceeds North on Lincoln Avenue to California. I will be walking with the Immigration Forum.
