Oregon DAR to hear about
Patrick Henry March 27
The Oregon Dunes Chapter,
National Society Daughters of
the American Revolution,
March 27 program will feature
retired history teacher Ray
Brown, a “Son of Liberty.”
Brown will be presenting
the history of Patrick Henry on
this visit. A Founding Father,
Patrick Henry served as the
first and sixth post-colonial
Governor of Virginia.
Henry led the opposition to
The Stamp Act in 1765 and is
remembered for his “Give me
liberty, or give me death!”
speech.
Along with Samuel Adams
and Thomas Paine, he is
regarded as one of the most
influential champions of
Republicanism and an invest-
ed promoter of the American
Revolution and its fight for
independence.
Brown regularly does pre-
sentations on the Declaration
of Independence and the form-
ing of the Constitution and the
Bill of Rights while dressed in
period-correct colonial attire.
He tells of historical figures,
their patriotism, hope and per-
severance, and what it means
to us today.
In addition, he recently
completed a cross-country
walk from Florence to Atlantic
City, N.J., to help raise an
awareness for the importance
of studying American history
and the Constitution.
