On July 2, 1776 the Second Continental Congress passed the Lee Resolution declaring our independence from Great Britain and King George! Down with the British! Seeing the immense significance of this declaration of independence, John Adams wrote a letter of prophecy to his wife Abigail predicting future celebrations on the 2nd of July. Adams wrote of July 2nd that on this day following generation will celebrate our freedom with Pomp and Parade…Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other.
So to celebrate this momentous day in the fulfillment of Adams’ prophecy, the 2nd Annual F3 NOLA Independence Day race was held at Pontiff Park at 5:30am on July 2, 2020.
