Two hundred fifty-one years ago, March 23, 1775, Patrick Henry stood before the Second Virginia Convention and delivered one of the most powerful speeches in American history: “Give me liberty, or give me death.” In this episode, we revisit the moment that galvanized a revolution and examine the courage it took to stand against tyranny. Henry’s words remind us that freedom is never guaranteed—it must be defended by people willing to speak boldly and act decisively.
Join us, as we learn more about the full content of Patrick Henry’s famous speech, and its impact on the American Revolution and our founding, with special guest historian, author and Professor, Dr. Thomas S. Kidd.
Constitutional Chats are hosted by Janine Turner, Cathy Gillespie, student ambassadors, and experts who join us weekly to discuss hot-topic issues! The audience is not on camera, but you may ask questions!
