Welcome to “Liberty and Freedom: Kościuszko’s Legacy” – an international forum commemorating and celebrating the 275th anniversary of the birth of a Polish-Lithuanian-Belarusian-American hero, Tadeusz Kościuszko. Namesake of the 1794 Polish – Lithuanian uprising, hero of the Battle of Saratoga, which secured American independence, and a champion for progressive rights, Kościuszko bridges in one person the greatest human values and yearning for a better and free world.
