Welcome to "Echoes of Independence," where we delve into the pivotal moments that shaped our nation's history. I'm the publisher of RetireCoast, Bill Anderson, and today, we're turning back the pages to a day that resonated with the birth of a nation: July 8, 1776.
While July 4th marks the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, it was on July 8th that its powerful words first echoed through the streets of Philadelphia. Colonel John Nixon stood before a gathered crowd at the Pennsylvania State House—now known as Independence Hall—and read aloud the Declaration, igniting the spirit of liberty among everyday citizens.
