Episode description

Join us as we welcome Stephen Wilson, Executive Director with the St. John's Foundation as we discuss the Second Virginia Convention. Mostly known for Patrick Henry's famous "Give me Liberty or Give me Death" speech, the Second Virginia Convention that was held at St. John's Church in Richmond and was instrumental in changing the narrative in early 1775. Virginia's leaders, as well as other colonial leaders, began to take a more defiant and independence tone. We also discuss the history of the church and all of their upcoming events to commemorate the 250th anniversary on March 23, 2025.
