The Malibu Times’ Multimedia Director Julie Ellerton took to the streets this July 4 to ask Malibu kids: ‘What is the meaning of the Fourth of July?’
“It’s about fun — you get to ride in a parade and you can ride with your friends.”
“It’s a celebration, where you celebrate things. And you do a big parade, too. We’re celebrating America.”
“It’s when the Declaration of Independence was signed. It’s about liberty and parades.”
“The Fourth of July means to me a time when we celebrate American and Independence Day, and how we gained freedom — freedom for all. How we made it so we were an independent country. I have fun going in the parade and going to friends’ parties.”
“I think the Fourth of July is about Freedom”
“It means fireworks and parades.”
“I think it’s about independence and freedom.”
