Let freedom ring and help celebrate new American citizens as they take the oath of citizenship on July Fourth at Monticello. UVA President Jim Ryan will speak to the new citizens, with music by the Charlottesville Band, the Charlottesville Opera, the Old Line Fife and Drum Corps, and The Oratorio Society of Virginia. The ceremony will also feature a presentation of the colors from the Boy Scouts of America Troop 75, followed by root beer floats and children’s activities on the West Lawn.

Free news is good news!
Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
