With the approach of our nation’s 235th birthday,
we gain perspective on history by reflecting on words spoken by one of the country’s founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson. "The principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence promised to lead America—and other nations on the globe—into a new era of freedom. It would inspire all peoples living under the burden of oppression and ignorance to open their eyes to the rights of mankind, to overturn the power of tyrants, and to declare the triumph of equality over inequality."
Our responsibility as "We the People" is to continue the American legacy of safeguarding and celebrating our birthright of freedom, independence and equality. Bergen County Camera and Gallery 270 salute our artists whose dogged determination and hard work exemplify those high ideals and confirm this spirit within ourselves.
