Richmond church where Patrick Henry called for ‘liberty or death’ seeks funds for repairs

From Virginia-

In 1775, Patrick Henry called for “liberty or death” at St. John’s Church.

And now, 239 years later, the historic church is calling for donations to repair its roof and paint its walls.

“The big item is replacing the roof of the church,” said Sarah Whiting, executive director of the St. John’s Church Foundation. “It’s leaking.”

And, Whiting said, “All the buildings need to be painted.”

Under its Legacy of Liberty Preservation Project, the St. John’s Church Foundation is working to raise $324,000 to make critical repairs to the national historic landmark.
