{"value"=>"<p>AHS was deeply involved, with James Wright Brown, in efforts to create a memorial to John Peter Zenger. These folders contain letters, memoranda, pamphlets, and other documents about the campaign to have the Memorial at St. Paul's Church in Eastchester, N. Y. and to have the church declared a national shrine, the plans for the Zenger Memorial there, fund-raising efforts, the decision to establish the Memorial in the Federal Hall Memorial, the exhibits there, the annual Bill of Rights ceremonies at St. Paul's Church, the neglect of the church and grounds and efforts to raise funds for its maintenance and restoration, and the personnel, activities and eventual disbanding of the Zenger Memorial Fund Committee. Included are the various documents giving the history of Zenger's trial and of St. Paul's Church, the rededication of the church in 1942, at which AHS spoke, the arrangements with the National Park Service for the Federal Hall Memorial (1944), the dedication ceremonies there, at which AHS spoke (1953) and correspondence about the exhibits there (1953).</p>"}
