Liberty Medal



Last Thursday (October 8) I attended the Liberty Medal presentation at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.  The Liberty Medal is given to recognize someone who has worked to secure liberty for people throughout the world.  This year's recipient was Steven Spielberg. It was a great night, held on the front lawn of the Constitution Center.  All the local dignitaries were there along with Whoopie Goldberg and Bill Clinton, the Center's chairman.  At the end of the event Richie Havens sang "Freedom" - really cool for all of us who are part of the Woodstock generation.
