A nationwide initiative where every city building, courthouse, business and resident was asked to place two lights out on the evening of April 18th in honor of Paul Revere's Midnight Ride. The two lights illuminated the path forward by honoring the pivotal moments of American history, with focus on the historical ride that signaled the beginning of the American Revolution.
