As we celebrate this national holiday, please visit some of these sites. For interesting facts and trivia, try this Facts for Features from the Census Bureau. Scads of links have been compiled for you at the Fourth of July Celebrations Database. Where are the fireworks/celebrations going to be? New York City will be hosting the Macy’s fireworks display(see you all on the Promenade), Hudson County festivities are enumerated here, Bergen County’s own celebrations are listed here, and Red Bank, NJ will be home to the KaBoom fireworks tonight. Take a look at the document that started it all and read Frederick Douglass’ “The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro” here. And the parent in all of us recommends this safety site. Be well and enjoy.
