Two Lights for Tomorrow
2025-04-18
What is Two Lights for Tomorrow? As we approach the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, we invite every household, business, and government office in Alabama to join in a unique celebration of American history: the Two Lights for Tomorrow initiative, commemorating Paul Revere’s famous ride and America’s fight for liberty and independence.
This initiative, sweeping across the nation as part of the America 250 celebration, honors the legendary moment when Paul Revere signaled the approach of British troops with lanterns in Boston’s Old North Church. It represents the spirit of unity, vigilance, and the enduring quest for freedom.
How to Participate:
Households: Light two candles or lanterns in your windows on the evening of April 18th, symbolizing the two lanterns hung in the church steeple. Share your participation on social media with #TwoLightsForTomorrow.
Businesses: Display two lights prominently at your establishment to foster a sense of community and historical pride. Engage customers with stories of the American Revolution, perhaps through window displays or special events.
Government Offices: Encourage the use of symbolic lighting in public buildings, alongside educational programs or public readings of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem Paul Revere’s Ride.
Why Participate?
Education: This is an opportunity to educate our youth and remind ourselves of the sacrifices made for our freedoms.
Unity: By participating, we contribute to a national tapestry of remembrance and patriotism.
Legacy: We’re not just celebrating history; we’re actively engaging in the creation of a living legacy through community involvement.
