Richmond Region 250

The Voice of American Liberty

Richmond is more than a historic region—it’s where the fight for American independence found its voice. At St. John’s Church, Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty, or give me death!” speech helped spark a revolution, and Jefferson’s Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom laid the foundation for the First Amendment.
