The Exchange Club of Statesboro and Julia P. Bryant Elementary School unveiled a new educational display within the school’s commons Friday that chronicles banner moments in American history.The new “Freedom Shrine” contains more than a dozen replicas of documents that, in some way, helped create and shape the United States of America during its more than two centuries of existence. Students passing through the school atrium can now peek into the past, reading addresses of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Georgia Washington and Abraham Lincoln; they can peruse the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Paris and — of particular note, with the 71st anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor occurring Friday — the 1945 Instruments of Surrender from both Japan and Germany.The words of John F. Kennedy, Robert E. Lee, and America’s founding fathers are all well-preserved within the glass display.“It is unbelievable and is a beautiful artifact,” said Nate Pennington, the principal of Julia P. “This display fits perfectly into our goals of providing a visual aid to students as they learn about history. History has become a major emphasis in what kids need to know; and we need tools like this to teach them, so history becomes real.”The Freedom Shrine is the fourth erected in Bulloch County by the Exchange Club of Statesboro.
