Veterans Day "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!" Reenactment
Since 1976, St. Johns Church Foundation has presented historical reenactments of the Second Virginia Convention of March 1775 at its original location. Professional actors in 1770s attire portray ten delegates, including Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington. The delegates engage in the debates and arguments of the Second Virginia Convention, which lead up to Patrick Henry's immortal "Give me Liberty or Give me Death!" speech.
Please join us on Veterans Day as we honor veterans of all U.S. wars. The program includes patriotic music.
