250 years ago in 1776, delegates gathered in Williamsburg for the Fifth Virginia Convention, beginning debates that would soon lead to a call for full independence.
Virginia’s decision to support separation from Britain helped shape the language, leadership, and resolve behind the Declaration of Independence itself. Two hundred fifty years later, this moment reminds us that independence was not inevitable, but chosen.

Thank you for honoring this legacy!
