Of the museum at the corner of third and Chestnut Street in old city philadelphia. Philadelphia was the headquarters of the revolution. This is where delegates came. This is where the protest against british oppression first mounted. This is where the declaration of independence was written. So this really is the most central element of the American Revolution, the birth of our nation, which is why this museum is located here. Just down the street from me is the first bank of the states.

A couple of months ago, we installed sully, and actually, the real, live sully came to the ceremony. That dog is now at walter reed, and a real iconic photo which is in the exhibit is of sully in front of president bushs casket. President bush got sully in june of 2018, and he served pres

Threemember we got to see arrayed befores us on a conference table and the Historical Society. That was a matter of picking representative objects which stand in for a big history of the civil war, item by item, personal story by personal story. It was remarkable at the end that we constructed the history of the war from the Abolitionist Movement to the 13th amendment which abolished slavery. And it was great fun to work with you on that project. Yes. Our topic this evening as fighting slavery, the bumpy road to black freedom.
