Declaration of Independence @ Independence Hall on July 8, 2025.

Описание: The declaration of independence was first read aloud to the colonist at Philadelphia’s independence hall on July 8, 1776 by Colonel John Nixon. Today the 249th anniversary of that reading took place at independence Hall just as it did in 1776.
This video was recorded at 12 noon July 8, 2025.

This video has 2 ringing of the centennial bell, at 12 noon it is rung 12 times & at the end of the reading it is rung 13 times, 1 for each original colony in 1776.
The bell was rung by hand on July 8, 2025 as the automated mechanism is under repair.


“WHEN in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the
Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of
the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God
entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires, that they should declare
the Causes which impel them to the Separation.“


“But when a long Train of Abuses and
Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under
absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.”
