Rise Up In The Spirit Of Paul Revere
By Amil Imani
Paul Revere was an American silversmith who took part in the American Revolution as a member of the Boston Tea Party and alerted the Lexington Minutemen before the approach of the British in 1775. Paul Revere has become a household name in America. Revere was a hero, a patriot and a symbol of the American Revolution because he risked his life for the Colonies. Due to his bravery, courage, and patriotism, Revere was immortalized by the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem (Paul Revere’s Ride). This poem is perhaps the main reason that both are memorialized today.
