If you don't know much about this holiday, do a quick Internet search to help you learn more. One, way I can relate to this holiday is that every year before my grandma got put into the nursing home, we would have a fourth of July cookout. We would try to get all the family there immediate and extended family were invited it was just a matter of who would show up. Secondly, when I was about 8 years old, I went to Disney World with my aunt and saw the fireworks show. Third, I always made my mom her favorite dinner and would make a cake. Preview: Historical Context of Essays What can the essay's publication date (1981) tell you about the essay's message and purpose? The publication date can tell you what time and era the essay takes place. It can help tell you about the culture and message behind the essay. Connect to the Reading: Connecting to the Issue List personal connections or associations you have with Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C. is the capital of my country where I live. List personal observations or experiences you've had with racism. I have seen people get bullied for having a different color of skin. It is also when someone says a racial slur because that's how things used to be in American. People owned other people and told them what they could and couldn't do.

How long have we celebrated the fourth of July?
