These are not professional fireworks. These are just everyday people you might find in Anytown, USA, celebrating & enjoying their Independence Day.
This short video is not about the fireworks. It is about people taking to the streets to express themselves. Whether it be to protest or to celebrate. Taking it to the streets is a tradition that pretty much began on day one of this country & still continues to this day.
