Fourth of July #2, Independence, Missouri
by Mike Sinclair

ARTIST STATEMENT

This Fourth of July celebration took place on the lawn of the Truman Presidential Library in Independence, Missouri.

July nights are slow to get dark enough to set off fireworks and I remember this evening included some speeches, introductions of prominent citizens and a band concert that included a few numbers with a children’s choir. I think the Declaration of Independence was read aloud. The lawn was full of people—some picnicking, some just there for the fireworks. A group of Civil War enactors had set up camp at the far edge of the lawn.

Towards dusk, a few vendors started moving through the crowd selling multi-colored plastic circles, like mini hula-hoops, that when activated, glowed in the dark. They were irresistible to kids bored with waiting so long for the main event and each vendor had a trail of children following him. Soon the lawn was spotted with the glowing necklaces.

At dark, the fireworks began. The haze in the picture is a combination of Missouri’s humid summer weather, fireworks, and smoke from Civil War-era cannons fired while Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture played.
