The Declaration of Independence, written, approved, and signed in 1776, is symbolic of America’s core values that still resound today, such as the ideal of all men being born equal and with unalienable rights. The Fourth of July, Independence Day, serves as a reminder of how far the independent nation has come from its roots as economically disadvantaged colonies under British rule, the shared values that ought to unite instead of divide, and the collective cry for freedom that came from the hearts of a people.

The former slave and great abolitionist Frederick Douglass (not his real name, by the way) gave his most famous speech on July 5, 1852, more than a decade before the end of slavery. In that context it's a remarkable read and then remember that just over a decade after the speech, after hundreds of thousands of Americans died to end slavery (while about three-quarters as many died trying to preserve it), the dream of Douglass and many others was realized. Which is not to say that the US lived up to its promise of "all men are created equal" for roughly another century (I would argue we're there now, though blacks still have significant headwinds not caused by current racism), but that the nation indeed did something remarkable and almost unthinkable and most worthy of celebration. No, it's not the key thing we celebrate on this holiday, of course. That's freedom from the tyranny of English kings. But I like the Douglass speech as the cherry on top even though, given when it was written, it was rather critical of "your" independence.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
