President Joe Biden vowed during his first prime-time address in March for the U.S. to declare its independence from COVID-19 on the Fourth of July.
Some cities are proceeding with a plan to showcase just that. Mobile and Birmingham are moving ahead with fireworks shows that aim to be bigger or more expensive than the displays before the coronavirus pandemic shut most of them down last year.
