Local Prodcution:
 Liberty or Death In the 1775 Virginia Convention at St. John’s Church, Henry again caused an uproar when he called to arm a militia to defend against an increasingly authoritative England. Henry predicted that “the next gale that blows from the North will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms.” Less than three weeks later shots were fired at Lexington and Concorde and the revolution had begun.
In the same speech Patrick Henry declared, “…is life so dear or peace so sweet to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me give me liberty or give me death!”
Sarge Reynolds,
A Documentary
J. Sargeant Reynolds
represented hope in the future of politics for many disenfranchised Virginians.
With his quick rise to the near top of  Virginia politics in the late
1960’s, “Sarge” seemed unstoppable… until time ran out.
Eight months after taking office as Lieutenant Governor in 1970, Reynolds was
diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Under a year later, he died in office
at the age of only 34. His state funeral in 1971 was the first in Virginia
since Jefferson Davis’ burial in 1893. |
