Parsons’ Cause Foundation presents Richard Henry Lee Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com HANOVER -- The Parsons' Cause Foundation is pleased to present Richard Henry Lee. Lee, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was an influential Founding Father. In June 1776, he drafted the "Lee Resolution," the motion in the Second Continental Congress that called for independence from Great Britain. He served as the sixth pres-
ident of Congress under the Articles of Confederation. Once the Constitution was adopted, Lee served as a United States senator. Presenter Marc Holma graduated from Virginia Tech with a B.A. in history and he holds a M.S. in historic preservation from Ball State University. After serving in the Army as an officer in a tank battalion, Holma taught United States and world history at St. John's Military Academy in Wisconsin.
He can often be seen portraying Thomas Jefferson at St. John's Church in the re-enactment of Patrick Henry's famous "Liberty or Death" speech. He also has portrayed Benedict Arnold for The Parsons' Cause Foundation and elsewhere. Holma is an architectural historian with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.
