Patrick Henry PORTRAYED BY BOB GLEASON
Patrick Henry’s passionate cry of “Give me Liberty or give me Death!” in 1775 gave this revolutionary patriot and founding statesman a resonant place in our national memory. In the decades both before and after 1775, Henry helped lead Virginia and the United States to independence, and then he took on a leading role in guiding and inspiring his fellow citizens as they struggled through the establishment of the new nation and a new national identity. He was one of the strongest proponents for a Bill of Rights. Although he remained a powerful advocate for states’ rights throughout his life, he heeded the call of duty, communicated to him directly by George Washington himself, in urging his countrymen to come together as one American people.
