This author, scholar, and blogger will not be posting for about a week, as I will be visiting Philadelphia, where I have been before, but not for more than a decade, to celebrate the upcoming Semiquincentennial Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, officially taking place on July 4, 2026.
Among the sites to be visited are Independence National Historical Park, the Liberty Bell, the National Constitution Center, and the Museum of the American Revolution, but also other historic sites in a city, Philadelphia, much underrated as a great tourist city.
This author and blogger is well aware that a lot can happen, much of it likely regrettable, but upon return, commentary on events and personalities will resume.
