Paul Revere A Patriot With A Purpose
January 18 @ 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Registration required; contact the organizer.Paul Revere A Patriot With A Purpose
Paul Revere is a unique figure in USA history. His name is universally known for his “Midnight Ride,” yet he seems to appear out of nowhere on that day and disappear the next. Like Rosa Parks, he seems to be important for one day of his life, which changes American History and then simply vanishes. But like Mrs. Parks, Paul Revere was a brave, determined, and respected leader who led a rich, full, and important life before and after his moment of fame.
While Americans recall something of the drama of Paul Revere’s ride, the details are more harrowing, exciting and heroic than you may realize. The CIA credits Revere as organizing the first spy network to protect America!
Paul Revere was captured on his way to Lexington and Concord by the British -who threatened him with death. The daring Patriot escaped their clutches, slipping through their lines and then riding tirelessly, Revere saved the necks of John Hancock and John Adams. Using his quick wits and unbelievable courage, Paul Revere even managed to smuggle top-secret documents to safety -right under the nose of the British column!
How was Paul Revere a Patriot with a purpose? And which modern United States hero would be the most comparable to him? Click here to read my surprising answer!
Please join us for this exciting and unexpected multimedia presentation where we will learn about how the amazing Patriot Paul Revere helped organize Boston’s fierce resistance to foreign occupation, revolutionized American industry – oh, and managed to take the unforgettable midnight ride!
