Plymouth Rock

The Plymouth Rock is traditionally regarded as the place where William Bradford and the other Pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower to the New World, went ashore. Even if we find the first reference to the rocks until 121 years after the landing of the Plymouth Rock is an important American remembrance. It is located in the port of Plymouth, Massachusetts, surrounded by a house built by McKim, Mead, and White Memorial, the Plymouth Rock Monument. The Landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock or on the was represented by Henry A. Bacon in 1877 in his painting The Landing of the Pilgrims. Malcolm X quoted the ( white ) founding myth in a speech with the words: "We did not land on Plymouth Rock. The rock which landed on us " ( English for" We did not land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us "). This quote was also mentioned in the movie Malcolm X.
