SUMMARY:Rebels and Revolutionaries: America's First Patriots
DESCRIPTION:As the nation marks 250 years of freedom with the commemoration 
 of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4\, Rodman Public 
 Library will present the seven-part “Forgotten Founders” lecture 
 series\, starting on Saturday\, January 31 at 1 p.m. when Sidney Zufall 
 will present “Rebels and Revolutionaries: America’s First Patriots” 
 inside the Rodman Auditorium.\n\nRegistration is required to attend all 
 lectures in the series.\n\nZufall\, who has become a popular speaker around 
 the Alliance area\, will deliver six of the presentations\, starting with 
 the one in January.\n\n“Many of the subjects of the series you may have 
 heard of\, but you probably don’t really know much about their story\,” 
 said Zufall\, who has presented programs about Winston Churchill and 
 Theodore Roosevelt in the past at Rodman Library. “Some of the others 
 have almost been totally lost to history.”\n\nThe January 26 program is 
 an overview of the events that sparked the Revolutionary War.\n\n“This is 
 not a story of compromise\,” said Zufall. “It is a story of defiance. 
 Ordinary men stood against an empire and declared that liberty comes not 
 from kings\, but from God. From James Otis and Patrick Henry to George 
 Washington\, this is the birth of American — bold\, faith filled\, and 
 forged in sacrifice. It is their story. And it is ours.”
