About Today’s Final Jeopardy – Friday, 28 April 2023
On the bicentennial of the eve of the American Revolution, President Gerald Ford visited Old North Church in Boston on April 18, 1975, and ignited a third lantern to commemorate the country’s third century.
The infamous “One if by land, two if by sea” signal is said to have been sent from the Old North Church on April 18, 1775, preceding the American Revolutionary War engagements of Lexington and Concord.
In a nationally televised speech, President Ford made the following comments “The Declaration of Independence has won the minds, it has won the hearts of this world beyond the dreams of any revolutionary who has ever lived. The two lanterns of Old North Church have fired a torch of freedom that has been carried to the ends of the world.” and “Let us pray here in the Old North Church tonight that those who follow 100 years or 200 years from now may look back at us and say: We were a society which combined reason with liberty and hope with freedom. May it be said above all: We kept the faith, freedom flourished, liberty lived. These are the abiding principles of our past and the greatest promise of our future.”
