About this Event
Freedom is not free. This Fourth of July marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of The Declaration of Independence. Founded by Gloria J. Browne-Marshall, Martyrs Day is the first national day of remembrance for American martyrs, a day to honor slain protesters and activists, and pay tribute to those whose untimely deaths led to protests for positive change in civil rights laws in the United States.
