“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
This is what written upon the paper, upon the Declaration of Independence. We, as a citizen of the United States, are free of not being British subjects. This Fourth of July is for America, for the whites.
But what is it to the slaves, or other races, upon this celebration every year? A sorrow day where the whites cheers? What is the word “we” means on the Declaration of Independence? What does the phrase “all men are created equal” means on the Declaration of Independence? How can we define “men” I ask? It’s a life live by a human being. Is slave, or African American, a life? Yes, I say. Are they human being living under the same sky as the whites? Yes, I repeated. Are they subjects to the whites like how once American was subject to the British? Some may say yes, while the other half might say no. Well, I on one hand, strongly disagree. The color and the race we label each other, but under the same umbrella, we are what is classified as a family, as the meaning of “men.”
Every word that were written upon and signed upon are finally fulfilled its promised around a hundred years later. The “men,” blacks and whites and all other different races of human being, are finally take consider in the definition and apply it to the paper, the document, written by Thomas Jefferson. The purpose of the celebration, 4th of July, is the birthday of National Independence and its political freedom
