We are pleased to host this annual event and excited to be adding a reading of the Freedom Petition co-authored by Prince Whipple. The inclusion of Prince Whipple and the Freedom Petition is very much in keeping with the theme of independence; and invites us to recognize that our journey as a nation is long, and full of triumphs and short-comings, enlightenment and contradiction. Democracy is an ideal that requires ongoing care, practice, and tending; and the two stories shared together is an energizing reminder of that. https://lnkd.in/eUig2UGc

1: On November 20, 1789, New Jersey became the first state in the U.S. to ratify the bill of rights. The bill of rights is the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. The U.S. Constitution currently has seven articles and 27 amendments. 2: On November 20, 1947, Princess Elizabeth married Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, at Westminster Abbey in London. Princess Elizabeth later became Queen Elizabeth II in 1952 upon the death of her father, King George VI. The couple remained married until death separated them on April 9, 2021, when Prince Philip died. 3: On November 20, 1910, Francisco Madero launched a failed revolution in Mexico under the Plan of San Luis Potosí. Though that initial revolution failed, it help bring about the Mexican Revolution, because it inspired Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, who later led the Mexican Revolution from 1910 to 1920. 4: The Nürnberg (Nuremberg) Trials commenced on November 20, 1945. The Nürnberg trials were the trials of former high ranking Nazi officials and organisations held in Nürnberg, Germany, by the International Military Tribunal (IMT) from 1945 to 1946. Some of the charges against the defendants were: crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and conspiracy to commit the crimes listed above. On October 18, 1945, the four chief prosecutors of the International Military Tribunal: Robert H Jackson of the United States, Sir Hartley Shawcross of Great Britain, Francois de Menthon of France, and Roman A Rudenko of the Soviet Union filed their indictment of 24 Nazi government officials and organisations, and the trials of those indictees began on November 20, 1945. Twenty-one of the defendants appeared in court, because Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, and Heinrich Himmler were already dead before the trial began. 5: On November 20, 2015, an American civil defense analyst named Jonathan Jay Pollard was released from prison after serving thirty years for selling classified information to Israel. 6: On November 20, 1992, a huge fire erupted at Britain’s Windsor Castle in Berkshire, England. 115 rooms were destroyed, but many of the important art pieces were untouched by the fire. #history #worldhistory #ushistory #americanhistory #globalaffairs #globalevents
