An Independence Day Playlist, 2019
James Bryce said, "“Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity. Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.”
Gerald Stanley Lee, "“America is a tune. It must be sung together.”
John Adams said Independence Day "will be celebrated with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other."
