Maura Healey called for Americans to continue the fight for liberty as she spoke at a remembrance of the Battle of Concord and the start of the Revolutionary War Saturday, saying &#8220;our freedoms are once again under attack.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Healey was one of the speakers at the ceremony held at Old North Bridge, the site of the Battle of Concord 250 years ago. Earlier in the morning, a dawn salute was held where muskets and cannons were fired. Saturday&#8217;s ceremony took part midway through a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/boston\/news\/concord-massachusetts-parade-250-watch-live\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">parade<\/a><\/span>, marking the 250 years since the battle.<\/p>\n<p>The Concord battle reenactment took place shortly after the Battle of Lexington reenactment earlier in the morning. After the British clashed with Minutemen in Lexington 250 years ago, they marched on to Concord, where they aimed to capture the colonists&#8217; ammunition supply.<\/p>\n<p>Among the dignitaries at the ceremony were Healey, Rep. Lori Trahan and British Consul General to New England David Clay\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;In Massachusetts, we have always lit the beacon&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;In Massachusetts, we have always lit the beacon. We&#8217;ve always answered the alarm. We have always stood our ground and we always will,&#8221; said Healey. &#8220;And now is the time to honor and fulfill that legacy. We live in a moment when our freedoms are once again under attack, including from the highest office in the land. We see things that would be familiar to our revolutionary predecessors: the silencing of critics, the disappearing of people from our streets, demands for unquestioning fealty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Healey&#8217;s sentiments were echoed by Trahan, who said the founders knew that the threat to democracy wouldn&#8217;t come from another country.<\/p>\n<h2>Trahan: In America, no one stands above the law<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;What began here in Concord became the shot heard &#8217;round the world. It was more than the start of a war, it was the beginning of an idea, that liberty is worth defending, that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed,&#8221; said Trahan, who was met with applause. &#8220;Even our founders knew that the greatest threat to this fragile experiment wouldn&#8217;t come from abroad, it would come from within&#8230;In America, not one, no one, no matter how loud, wealthy or how powerful, stands above the law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/04\/19\/7f3bc5cc-037e-48ef-b42d-8a7a36adc135\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/d5f98ca380d6657ad5a907fbc90c0067\/ralph-concord-parade-pool-20250419-01-frame-239495.jpg?v=04a4ba26f526ed8207f014fe1018c4aa#\" alt=\"ralph-concord-parade-pool-20250419-01-frame-239495.jpg \" height=\"698\" width=\"1240\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">A musket salute at the Old North Bridge in Concord after memorial wreaths were placed for Minutemen and British soldiers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS Boston<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After Healey and Trahan spoke, a wreath-laying was held to remember those who fought in Concord, as well as the British soldiers who were killed in the battle and are buried in Concord.
