Inspired by a public reading of the Declaration, a crowd of soldiers and civilians tore down a statue of King George III in New York City #onthisday in 1776. Pieces of the statue were melted down into musket balls, like this one in our galleries.

It is widely believed that the Liberty Bell was rung to mark the adoption of the Declaration of Independence #OnThisDay, July 8, 1776.

[US Department of the Interior @Interior]

At first glance, it's just a brick building. But inside the walls of Independence Hall, a bold idea took shape. Fifty-six men pledged "our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor," and a new nation was born.

Today, as America celebrates its 250th birthday, we remember the place where the Declaration of Independence was adopted and history changed forever.

Happy Independence Day from where it all started. 🇺🇸

@Houseofyogi Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."

Pritzker is a billionaire and so are all his siblings and cousins!!

[RCR @RCRracing]

Richard Childress Racing has elected to suspend use of the No. 8 and will run the No. 33 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and beyond. Kyle Busch was instrumental in the design of RCR’s stylized No. 8 and it has become synonymous with Kyle and an important symbol for his fans and the NASCAR industry. No one can carry it forward to the level that he did. The No. 8 is reserved and ready for Brexton Busch when he is ready to go NASCAR racing.
