These compelling and immortal words embodied the patriotic and fighting spirit of Patrick Henry – a brilliant orator whose uncompromising love of liberty at any cost fueled the fire of the American Revolution. Henry was the first of America’s Founding Fathers, the first to call Americans to arms against Britain, and the first to demand a bill of rights and equality for all. Come and listen to the "Voice of Liberty" and the "Trumpet of the American Revolution" as we discover the life story behind the famous words “Give me liberty or give me death”!
