As we approach July 4th and the celebration of America’s Independence from England, it is important to reflect on the idea that Freedom in 1776 was not freedom for everyone in this country. While the idea of democracy, equality, and opportunity were promised, there are those still in our country who fight every day to be seen, and to achieve the freedoms promised over 245 years ago. We must continue to find ways to advance these ideals for others every day.
