On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence.
A couple of days later its delegates to the Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence - a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson.
From 1776
until the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of
American independence.
To celebrate the holiday here is American roots-rocker Dave Alvin having a really good time singing an original of his with David Hidalgo, Flaco Jimenez, Pete Sears, Max Baca and Los Cenzontles at the benefit for Los Cenzontles Cultural Arts Academy at the home of Robert Mailer Anderson and Nicola Miner, San Francisco, February 16, 2017,
