St. Patrick's Day 2010 Wreath Laying at The Irish Memorial at Penn's Landing

Civil War USCT Memorial at Philadelphia National Cemetery
On Saturday, April 21, 2018, a new Civil War memorial for the United States Colored Troops (USCT) was unveiled in a special ceremony at Philadelphia National Cemetery. This is the first of its kind in Philadelphia to recognize and honor black soldiers, who, according to Abraham Lincoln, were essential to saving the Union.
The Mütter Museum co-sponsored the dedication ceremony of the interpretive sign as the latest in a series of annual events commemorating the medical dimension of the Civil War. These events augment the exhibition, Broken Bodies, Suffering Spirits: Injury, Death, and Healing in Civil War Philadelphia. The exhibition, which opened in 2013 and closes in late 2019, highlights stories and experiences of a white soldier, black soldier, physician, and female nurse, framed by the words of poet Walt Whitman.

Murdered: 57 Irish Workers at Duffy's Cut
Fifty-seven Irish workers set sail for the United States in April of 1832 to work at Duffy's Cut, a Pennsylvania Railroad construction site in Malvern, a city about 20 miles outside of Philadelphia. The workers arrived in Philadelphia in June.
By the end of August, they were all dead.
The railroad company maintained that the workers died of cholera. But William Watson, a history professor at Immaculata University, says he believes they were executed.
Watson's grandfather was the former director of personnel at the Pennsylvania Railroad. After the company went bankrupt in the early 1900s, he took a file from the vault containing information about the deceased workers.
Watson first saw the file, stamped Off Limits to the Public, in 2002. While reading through it, he says he realized he had uncovered a piece of hidden history that really needed to be investigated.
The file refers to a stone wall, which Watson and colleagues located in 2002. Following the discovery of human remains in 2009, Watson reached out to Janet Monge, curator of physical anthropology at the Penn Museum.
Monge and Penn alumna Samantha Cox led the dig crew at Duffy's Cut and helped unearth the remains of seven people. Every complete skull excavated shows trauma, Monge says, including bullet holes. The more bones she studied, the more she became convinced that the workers were executed.
Watson says he believes the story of Duffy's Cut is that of a quarantine that didn't work. He theorizes that the workers contracted cholera and were quarantined by the railroad company. Some tried to escape, and were caught and executed.
Through the use of radar, Watson and Monge have located the remains of 50 other individuals at Duffy's Cut, but they are not presently excavatable because they are buried on private property.
On March 9, six of the seven workers were buried at West Laurel Hill Cemetery. The seventh will be repatriated to Ireland.

In Penn's Shadow (1680-1720) - Philadelphia: The Great Experiment
For free educational materials, visit our website at historymakingproductions.com/philadelphia-the-great-experiment
Philadelphia celebrates its founder more than any other American city, but who exactly is William Penn? For many, he is a statue atop City Hall, but Penn's busy life reflected an era of chaotic upheaval and conflict. He is at once a radical Quaker, political prisoner, visionary city planner, absent landlord, and a slaveholder. His ideals, contradictions, and ambitions cast a long shadow across American history. This installment of Philadelphia: The Great Experiment explores what it means to live In Penn's Shadow.

The Story of Liberty Radio Broadcast
The Monumental movie / Kirk Cameron -Apr 09, 2011 show
The central theme of the Monumental documentary film is that the Liberty man and women, or freedom man as former President Ronald Reagan called him, is the only liberator capable of bringing back lasting liberty to America or any nation in the world.
From the beginning of the film the desire for freedom is seen as a universal aspiration of all men. As the rock anthem proclaims -- People everywhere just want to be free.
Whether we portray the uprising of the gladiators in Spartacus or in The Gladiator, or in the French Revolution we observe that none of these revolts resulted in lasting liberty. Those in revolt had no higher law (God's Law) to appeal and no system to put in place to keep one of their own from rising to enslave the people.
Monumental film uncovers the road to lasting liberty and the forgotten road map of freedom that needs decoding in our time. Why was America unique? What was the secret that led to lasting liberty under law?
What kind of individual was forged in Europe and unleashed in America who could bind the tyrants down with the chains of the Constitution as Thomas Jefferson said.
This is accomplishment and unfolds as we understand that a new kind of hero was emerging in Europe, especially in England and Scotland. He was not primarily a conqueror, although he conquered tyrants. He was
not the typical loner anti-hero portrayed in film who does it his way, yet he often stood alone, often only with his family, against entire nations. He accomplished liberation not through the killing of others, but through dying himself if necessary to stand for the eternal principals of right, those laws given at Mt. Sinai.
The Liberty man's legacy is pure and his legend rings into eternity. Liberty man's lineage comes down through: Patrick, the liberator of Ireland; Alfred the Great who codified English common law and loved
his wife and her only; Rev. Langton, who wrote Magna Carta, the constitution of England, which held down the king's power and called for freedom under law; William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, who called for Scotland's freedom from tyrannical power; John Wycliffe
who stood against King and prelate and declared the Word to be pre- eminent over worldly power; The Scottish Covenanters, both men and women, who signed the National Covenant, to raise their children in the Truth, not the King's propaganda; The brave Dutch who stood for
their faith against overwhelming odds as the Spanish threatened them with extinction; The Pilgrims who took the blood bought truth and embodied it for an entire nation, leaving us the blueprint to find our way home to God; And the Founders who codified Christian principles
into the world's finest, biblical civil documents.
The message of this film is so powerful and proven in history. Either we as individuals will follow the path or as Winston Churchill said about England in the early twentieth century, see the walkway of civilization give way beneath our feet and we fall into the abyss
