Patrick Henry Speaks: “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” — 1775

For generations, Americans have built the American Dream across communities big and small. That dream rests on timeless principles: the freedom and opportunity to succeed. History shows us that every great change begins with one person willing to speak up and take the first step to action.

A Moment That Stirred a Revolution

In 1775, Patrick Henry took one of those steps. Facing a room divided over how to respond to growing British tyranny, he spoke a simple but unforgettable truth: “Give me liberty or give me death.” His words cut through doubt and fear, calling his fellow Virginians to stand for freedom, no matter the cost.

Freedom Requires Courage

Henry knew what every generation must remember: freedom isn’t guaranteed. It takes courage and commitment to protect it. True liberty grows when individuals rise up, stand firm, and defend our founding principles.
