"I speak the voice of thousands."

Richard Schumann as Patrick Henry.

 

Patrick Henry was a man who knew his mind and wasn’t the least afraid to speak it.

Richard Schumann, who portrays Patrick Henry at Colonial Williamsburg, delivered the opening talk in a forum at the College of William and this week, “Free Speech Under Fire.”
